Macaroons are a cookie[1], Macarons are a French dessert[2].

- hahajk 3y agoWow, thank you. That was a real broccoli = kale moment for me.
- justworkout 3y agoMacaroons and macarons are both cookies. They're both desserts as well.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoIt's basically the same word though(they have the same etymology). In Norwegian they're called coconut and French "makron", respectively.
- danielvinson 3y agoMacaroons are the coconut cookie. Macarons are the fluffy egg white ones. Very different things.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoBut the word macaroon is derived from macaron. Obviously they are not the same thing, I never said that, did I?
