It is the most amazing type of little cookie. It is a round, brightly colored, small sandwich type of sweet that comes in a great variety of delicious flavors. Let's begin by describing the outside layers, for they are too good to be passed over in a single short sentence.
The outside layer of a macaron has a sort of crust all around it. It is slightly crunchy and slightly crispy, but oh-so-delicate and light at the same time. Inside this astounding crust is a "foamy" (to quote Nadia. We were just raving about them to each other while sitting at the school computers), chewy, center - but it isn't sticky like you would expect.
In between the outside layers is a filling of whatever flavor you have chosen. The flavor of the inside matches the color of the macaron you've chosen. Beige for café, pink for fraise, etc.
I have now tried chocolat, café, and pistache.
I tried the coffee flavored one first. It was good. The texture amazed me. Then I tried the pistachio, and thought that it was going to be my favorite. The chocolate, though, had a unique, fudge-like center. Tres bon.
