Colorful macaroons

What are they?

Macaron, Mac-ar-ON is a meringue-based sandwich cookie made with almond flour, egg whites, confectioners' sugar, and food coloring. Common fillings include buttercream, ganache, and fruit-based jam. The meringues have smooth tops, ruffled edges (called the "crown," "foot," or "pied"), and flat bottoms. As far as texture goes, they're airy, moist, slightly cakey, and a bit chewy. Properly baked macarons should have a distinctive melt-in-your-mouth quality.
