Macaron Definition.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Not to be confused with Macron, Macaroon, or Macaroni.
Dating back to the 18th century, the macaron is a traditional French pastry, made of egg whites, almond powder, icing sugar and sugar. This sweet pastry came out of the French courts' baker's oven as round meringue-like domes with a flat base. Macarons are not to be confused with macaroons. Macarons are sandwich-like pastries made with two thin cookies and a cream or ganache between the cookies. Macaroons are dense cookies made with coconut. Some claim that the original macarons would have been invented in Nancy, a commune of the Meurthe et Moselle département, in northeastern France. Wiki.
