Macaron:
(This will not look even. Don't worry; it will be hidden by the surface crochet)
To create the little ridge around the "top" and "bottom" I surface crocheted.
I did the bottom band first. Hold the cookie right side up and work around. I used the bottom stitch of the center color. The surface crochet should be lined up flush with the center with the recess facing downward.
For the top I hold the cookie upside down. I used the stitch above the center color. This row should be a mirror image to the bottom, the crochet should be flush with the center and the recess facing upwards. Weave in ends.
It may take several tries to get this correct.
But once you do, you will have a dozen or more in no time.
