May 31st
National Macaroon Day

A macaroon is a sweet confectionery made of ground almonds or coconut, sugar, and egg white. It is a small, round, and typically crispy cookie that has a soft and chewy center. Macaroons are often flavored with vanilla, chocolate, or various fruits, and may be decorated with icing or sprinkles. They are popular in many countries, including France, Italy, and the United States, and are often served as a dessert or snack. Macaroons are sometimes confused with macarons, which are a similar-looking but more delicate and complex French cookie made with almond flour, sugar, and egg whites, with a creamy filling in the middle.
