Macaroon Vs Macaron

A macaron is a French confection made from almond meringue, often colored to represent various flavors, such as red for red velvet or pink for strawberry. After baking, two macarons are paired and filled with a filling such as jam, curd, ganache, or buttercream, characterized by their smooth tops and ruffled edges.

A macaroon is a cookie made with shredded coconut, egg whites, sugar, and flavorings. Modern versions often use sweetened condensed milk and look like coconut mounds.

Since i bake eggless, today's recipe of coconut macaroon uses condensed milk for the hold. I have also used desiccated coconut in the recipe instead of shredded coconut, so it kind of has a smooth cookie like texture.

Coconut Macaroons

Coconut macaroons have been on my to-do list for a long time. As a food blogger, I constantly add to my overflowing favorites and bookmarks whenever I find a good recipe.

I was planning to bake some kid friendly recipes, for the festive season. Naturally I went to check my bookmarks folder to chose something simple and easy to make with kids .The recipe is so simple, even a kid can bake it. It is just mixing of ingredients and shaping it.

The original recipe used just coconut and condensed milk. I have added tutti-frutti to the dough and garnished it pistachios. The cookies have a crusty bottom and a soft chewy texture. This recipe gives a dozen cookies. You can double or halve the recipe according to the number of cookies needed.
