What Is The Difference Between Macaroons And French Macarons?
Macaroons are small, sweet confections made with shredded coconut, while French macarons are delicate, meringue-based cookies made with almond flour and filled with a variety of flavors such as ganache, buttercream, or fruit preserves. Macaroons have a chewy texture and are often plain or flavored with chocolate, whereas French macarons have a crisp outer shell and a soft, chewy interior, with a wide range of colors and flavors. The two confections share only their name and a similar appearance.
