The Perfect Recipe for First-Time Macaron Bakers Macarons are lauded as a French delicacy, but are actually of Italian origin. Venetian monasteries have been making them for centuries. The cookies can be traced back to the Renaissance period when Queen Catherine de Medici brought her Italian pastry chefs with her to France. Unlike American macaroons, French macarons consist of two crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside meringue discs filled with ganache, buttercream, or jam. We'll be honest, they can be tricky to make. But practice and patience makes perfect. READ MORE Recipes We Love Latin American Suspiros Crispy, light little "sighs" of sweetness.
