A Macaron (pronounced mac-ah-ron) is a French cookie made of finely ground almond flour suspended in a meringue. This technique requires practice and perfection to create the desired chewy texture, super thin crust, and raised “feet” at the bottom of each cookie. Macarons are made up of two cookies sandwiched together with various fillings in between, usually including a buttercream or ganache. The coloring and flavoring of the cookies and fillings varies widely, with endless possibilities.
