edit: i did the recipe once more, because it was too good and learned 2 things:
) skip step 2 and 7. just mix well the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and the whole egg.
) AND VERY IMPORTANT: don't bother with teaspoons at step 9 - use a tablespoon. otherwise the macroons become so small, that you feel guilty because of eating that many of them ;).
