Macaron

A macaron is a delicate, French-style confection composed of two smooth, crisp meringue-based almond cookies joined by a creamy filling, often ganache, buttercream, or jam. Made from almond flour, sugar, and egg whites, they are known for their vibrant colors, variety of flavors, and soft yet slightly chewy texture on the inside. The process requires precise whipping, folding, and baking techniques to achieve their characteristic smooth tops and ruffled "feet" at the base. Macarons are appreciated globally for their elegance, balanced sweetness, and complex flavor profiles, making them a popular treat and a symbol of refined pastry craftsmanship.
