A macaron is a sweet meringue-based confectionery made with egg whites,
icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food
coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or
jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from the
Italian word maccarone or maccherone.
