What makes macaroons so good? Why are they so expensive? I don't think I've ever had one.

Do you mean macarons? Because they take more time to prepare and bake.

Macaroons are different. Kinda like a chewy biscuit because of the coconut.

macarons

yeah those, the fancy looking biscuits that seem to cost a few bucks each.

Yeah. There's a lot more involved in the process. You have to get the flavouring right, let the mixture sit for a while, bake it slow like a pav. Blah blah. Well worth buying unless you know what you're doing making them.

For the price I reckon it's worth eating something else.
