Macarons from Ladurée

Have you ever had a macaron? I didn't nibble my first delicious French cookie until a few weeks ago and now I don't know why I waited so long. Ladurée is the most famous maker of macaron cookies and  has bakeries everywhere from New York City to London to Dublin. Naturally, its the cookie beloved by Blair Waldorf on "Gossip Girl"! [Laduree.fr, Prices vary but in the U.S. a package of eight cookies costs around $10]
