Coconut Macaroons
French Macarons
The main difference between the two popular pastries is their appearance. The light-as-a-feather classic French macaron is a meringue-based confectionery with a smooth domed top, a crinkled ruffled circumference, which is also known as the “foot”, and a flat base. It is basically a sandwich of two cookies with a creamy, sweet filling made of ganache, jam, or buttercream. It is also available in a range of vibrant colors and different flavors.
Unlike the polished sophistication of a macaron, the macaroon is a lumpy-shaped sweet cake made of shredded coconut or almonds and condensed milk. The batter for the macaroon is dropped onto a cookie sheet in little random haystacks, and they are baked until crispy and golden on the outside and chewy on the inside. – Buzzle.com
