  Before I get started with our month of macarons, I want to clear something up.
There is a difference between macarOn and macarOOn.  And it’s not just the extra O.
MACARON:
a sweet, little confection made with egg whites, ground almond and sugar.  they look like little round (heavenly) sandwiches and can be filled with jam, buttercream or ganache. easily melts in the mouth.
MACAROON:
little, round cookies made primarily of egg whites and coconut. they are dense, moist and sweet. sometimes dipped in chocolate, sometimes include nuts.  always delicious.
I’m not here to tell you which one is better than another- they’re both tasty.
I’m just here to tell you I’ll be making macarOns this month so you know what to expect.
Can’t wait!
