AssetID: 122607322 / MIXA Co. Ltd. / Macaroons in Show Window _x000D_ _x000D_ A macaroon (/mækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-ROON ) is a type of light, baked confection, described as either small cakes or meringue -like cookies depending on their consistency. The original macaroon was a "small sweet cake consisting largely of ground almonds" similar to Italian or Moroccan amaretti . _x000D_ The English word macaroon and French macaron come from the Italian maccarone or maccherone . This word is itself derived from ammaccare , meaning crush or beat , used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient. _x000D_ Most recipes call for egg whites (usually whipped to stiff peaks), with ground or powdered seeds, generally almonds or nuts. Alternatively, coconuts, a seed , can be used. Almost all call for sugar. Macaroons are sometimes baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray. _x000D_ _x000D_ This page is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic.
