One is great, the other not so much.

These are awesome! Macarons are sandwich-like pastries made with two thin cookies and a cream or ganache between the cookies. My favorite is Pistachio.
Do not confuse them with Macaroons.

Just ho-hum. Macaroons are dense cookies made either with coconut or with a coarse almond paste.
I just figured we needed to clear this up. They are often confused and I needed to bring some clarity to the blog today. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I just learned something new today. And I want to try a Macaron soon too. They look yummy. Have a fabulous day.
THANK YOU for clarifying this to the blogosphere! I am infinitely annoyed with people mistaking macarons with macaroons! Especially when they misspell macaron like macaroon!
Yes, I am crazy. :)
I love the french macarons, and actually that was the first or second thing I ever blogged about!
