In

In
English, macaroon.
In
my mouth—so yummy!
The
word macaroon
comes from an Italian or Latin word for crush or beat. These
delightful cookies are named this because the main ingredient is
crushed almonds. In addition to almond paste, most macaroons have
whipped egg whites, coconut, and of course sugar.
Macaroons
have been around for centuries, with some early recipes being in the
very first cookbooks. Here are a few up-to-date recipes:
Martha Stewart
offers recipes for multiple versions. Sixteen different types, to be
exact! I'm pretty much gaining weight just by looking at the
pictures!
Food-dot-com
offers “Really Easy Macaroons.”

You have two pictures - one is of macarons (the sandwich cookies) and one of macaroons. There is a difference between them - macaroons are not sandwich cookies.
