What’s the Difference Between a Coconut Macaroon and a Macaron?
Macaroons and macarons are two very different types of cookies that are often confused with one another due to their nearly identical spelling.
Macaroons – are made primarily with shredded coconut. The sweetener and binding agents may vary slightly from recipe to recipe. But the overarching commonality is that each cookie is a large mound of sweetened shredded coconut with golden brown crispy edges and delicious chewy centers.
I personally associate them with spring and Easter desserts, but– of course– they really are delicious served any time of the year!
Macarons – are petite sandwich cookies. The cookie shells (the outside layers of the cookie sandwich) are made primarily with almond flour, sugar, and egg whites. They have smooth, shiny tops that crack when bitten (although the insides are a bit chewy). Usually filled with buttercream, jam, or ganache; you can find them made in all sorts of colors and flavors.

Do Macaroons Freeze Well?
How to Freeze Macaroons
➊ Make sure the macaroons have cooled completely at room temperature.
➋ Place the macaroons in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or wax paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 3 hours.
➌ Transfer the frozen macaroons to an airtight container and return to the freezer for up to three months.
Note – it’s ok for the frozen macaroons to be stacked on top of either other while in the freezer. But when it comes time to thaw them, make sure they are in a single layer. Thaw at room temperature.
