Macaroons are a cookie or confection, or a cross between the two, depending on where they are made. Macaroon cookies (or "macaroon biscuits") often use egg, chocolate or dates as the binder of a food fabric, such as ground or powdered nuts, coconut, cocoa, potato starch, peanut butter, toasted sesame seed paste, etc. The coconut macaroons is the most common in Philippines, fruits macaroons are also available in some bakeries. We always cooked this at home after dinner, we ate it as our midnight snack and I always left some for me to take it to the office in the morning.
