Macaroons vs Macarons – What is the difference?

I’ll never forget the first time I tasted a macaron. It was crunchy and delicate with chocolate ganache. It wasn’t even called a macaron it was a Nicolette cookie or something like that. And it was .75 in the Wegman’s bakery department. That was before the macaron crazy started. Now they are everywhere. Macarons are small sandwich cookies made out of almond flour, egg whites, and sugar with a flavored filling. They are delicious but all my attempts at converting them to low carb have failed. I think they are one of the few recipes that really do need white cane sugar.

Macaroons are quite different. They are coconut based and chewy. They are equally delicious but with more of a homemade comfort food taste than a fancy French bakery taste. And they are a heck of a lot easier to make. You can’t make macarons if it is too humid or too hot or if you don’t have hours upon hours to spend on them. These macaroons are easy enough for kids to make in any sort of weather.

Make sure to use chocolate you like! If you find 85% dark chocolate bitter and unpalatable use a sugar-free milk chocolate instead.

I hope you enjoy this Easy Chocolate Macaroons Recipe! For a slightly less chocolatey version try my Chocolate Chip Coconut Macaroons!
