Macaroons are a type of small, round cookie made with a combination of ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites. These sweet treats have a chewy texture and a crisp exterior and are often flavoured with vanilla, chocolate, or other delicious ingredients. Macaroons can be enjoyed on their own as a sweet snack, or used as a base for other desserts such as ice cream sandwiches or trifles. They are popular in many countries, including France and Italy, and are often associated with Jewish cuisine. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a novice cook, making macaroons at home is a fun and rewarding experience.
