DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MACARON AND MACAROONS

Many people confuse macaroons with macarons and vice versa, both are completely different cookies.

The first difference is very obvious in their appearance, macarons are sandwiched between different flavored fillings and macaroons are usually piped or shaped as mounds and baked.

French macarons are light, airy and meringue-based cookies and macaroons are chewy coconut based cookies.

Macarons need some expertise, are slightly tricky to nail! Macaroons, on the other hand, are really easy to pull off!

HOW TO MAKE 2-INGREDIENT SIMPLE MACAROONS?

You only need some shredded desiccated coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk to make these little treats. Mix these two up, shape into little mounds and bake. That’s all!

I’ve used regular desiccated coconut, which does not make these eggless coconut macaroons cloyingly sweet. If you like it sweeter, use the sweetened shredded coconut.
