Alice found a magic penny machine. The machine subtracts $5$ pennies, then doubles all of the pennies left, then subtracts $30$ pennies*, and then adds $26$ pennies. Alice puts in $15$ pennies. How many pennies will she get out of the machine?

*Note: Sometimes, this results in negative pennies, but that's OK because this is all magic.
