Macaron Moments

Macarons are often confused with macaroons: both are delicious and made with an egg white and sugar base, but there are several big differences between them – including an extra O! Macaroons (pronounced ma·kuh·roon, like moon) are chewy and crispy cookies made with sweetened flaked coconuts often associated with a traditional Passover celebration. Alternatively, Macarons (pronounced mac·ah·ron, like gone) are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and made with finely ground almond flour. Two cookies form a sandwich filled with jam, curd, ganache, or buttercream.
