Sounds Great! But What is a  holiday macaron?

According to MyRecipes , the macaron (pronounced mah-kah-ROHN) is a delicate cookie made with almond flour or meal, egg whites, and confectioners' sugar that puffs up during baking to create a hollow center. The result is an airy, slightly domed cookie, the base of which is soft and chewy. Two cookies are paired to sandwich a filling typically made with butter, confectioners’ sugar, and oftentimes a flavor extract.

Macarons are typically dyed a certain color to show the flavor that the special cookie holds. At Pastreez, the flavors of French macarons that you can order online are Apricot, Bourbon Vanilla, Cherry, Chocolate, Choco Cassis, Christmas Coconut, Heart Raspberry, Passion Fruit, Pistachio, Pumpkin Pie, Rose, Royal Cassis, Salted Caramel, Strawberry Vanilla, Tiramisu, and Turquoise Cherry.

The History of the Macaron

Over the Centuries that the Macaron has been around, primarily in Europe, there have been few changes to its ingredients and recipes. One of the few changes was the coloring added to each Macaron to showcase each unique flavor. The Macaron originated in Italy and soon became popular in France and to this day is still one of the most popular desserts served in elegant cities like Paris. 

According to MadMac, the Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d'Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. Many towns throughout France have their own prized tale surrounding this delicacy. Pierre Desfontaines, the grandson of Louis Ernest Laduree (Laduree pastry and salon de the, rue Royale in Paris) had the idea to fill them with a "chocolate panache" and to stick them together. Since then, Macaron cookies have been nationally acclaimed in France and remain the best-selling cookie in pastry retail stores worldwide!
