Makes ~60-80, depending on the size you make them.

- Ingredients
    + 5-6 egg whites
        * Note: The size of the eggs is fairly important here. If you
          use too much egg white, the macaroons will become very flat
          when baking them.
    + 500g sugar
    + 500g ground hazelnuts
    + Whole hazelnuts (one for each macaroon)
- Instructions
    + Beat egg whites until stiff.
    + Stir in sugar.
    + Stir in ground hazelnuts.

    + Form small heaps on a tray using two teaspoons, then add a
      whole hazelnut on each heap. Make sure to press the hazelnut
      hard enough that it doesn't fall out later.
