A macaroon (/mækəˈruːn/ mak-ə-ROON) is a type of small round biscuit, typically made from ground almonds (the original main ingredient[1]), coconut, and/or other nuts or even potato, with sugar and sometimes flavorings (e.g. honey, vanilla, spices), food coloring, glace cherries, jam and/or a chocolate coating.[2] Some recipes call for sweetened condensed milk.[3][4] Macaroons are often baked on edible rice paper placed on a baking tray.
