Good macarons are expensive because they’re labor and time-intensive, unlike macaroons (which I prefer because they’re not too sweet and full of coconut). A cousin of mine makes good macarons and sells a small container of eight for around $20 CA, and they’re really popular where she sells them. I tried a couple (not for free) and they were okay, but nothing particularly mind-blowing, even though she had some newish and unique flavors. But, like I said before, I prefer macaroons.
I love the hazelnut macaroons the most and good meringue is the best, especially when they're heavily decorated with little rainbow pearls
Got confused because of the spelling. Never ate a macaron and the closest thing I tried was a plain meringue which smells eggy. They're expensive.
Well at least I'm grateful to have eaten macaroons, them coconut cookies so good.
