Not to be confused with the French macarons, macaroons are actually coconut-based biscuits which are simple to make, but wonderfully sweet and crunchy. Whether you enjoy them plain with a sprinkling of slivered almonds or glace cherries on top, or turned into a dessert cake, tart or pie, these coconutty treats will those satisfy sweet cravings with minimal effort required.
