Did you know that the first macaron (not macaroon) was made in Italy? Its name comes from the same origin as macaroni..."fine dough". I know what you're thinking. Macarons aren't flat. They actually used to be! Macarons were simple cookies with no flavors or fillings. It wasn't until the 20th century when someone decided to stick two of them together with jam or ganache.
