💡 Pro Tips:
- Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.

- Don’t skip the resting period before baking—it helps develop the perfect texture.
- Practice makes perfect—expect a few flops before you get the hang of it!
🍬 Macarons vs. Macaroons – Not the Same!
It’s easy to mix up macarons with macaroons, but they’re actually very different. Macaroons are coconut-based, chewy cookies, usually dipped in chocolate, while macarons are the elegant almond meringue sandwich cookies we’re celebrating here. Both are delicious, but their textures, ingredients, and origins are worlds apart.
💕 Why Everyone Loves Macarons
Whether it’s their crisp-yet-tender texture, their vibrant colors, or their fancy Parisian charm, macarons are the kind of dessert that makes people smile. They’re perfect for:
- Gifting – A box of macarons feels luxurious and thoughtful.
- Celebrations – Weddings, baby showers, birthdays—you name it.
- Everyday indulgence – Treat yourself to a moment of sweet joy with tea or coffee.
