National Macaroon Day

National Macaroon Day celebrates the sweet, coconutty treat known as the macaroon. This food holiday has its origins in ancient Italy, where almond-based macaroons were first created. Over time, the recipe evolved to include coconut as a primary ingredient. Macaroons are typically made with shredded coconut, egg whites, sugar, and sometimes almond paste. They are often baked until the exterior is crispy, while the interior remains soft and chewy. National Macaroon Day is a day for macaroon lovers to indulge in this simple yet delicious dessert. Whether homemade or store-bought, macaroons are a beloved treat enjoyed by many.
