❓ FAQ

Are macaroons and macarons the same?

No—macarons are delicate French sandwich cookies made with almond flour, while macaroons are coconut-based, chewy biscuits.

How do I store them?

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Do I need sweetened coconut?

Sweetened works best, but you can use unsweetened and add 2–3 tbsp sugar to balance.

Can I skip the condensed milk?

Yes—replace with 1/2 cup sugar + 2 tbsp milk, but the texture will be slightly different.
