How I Celebrated

I wouldn't usually call Trader Joe's cheap, but this is probably the best place to get pre-made, boxed and frozen macarons. They were very rich and hard to eat even one by yourself. I loved the butterscotch flavor though.

History

 Punchbowl
 Punchbowl says that macaroons are not cookies because they do not contain flour, but we all know there are gluten free cookies. How else is paste made? I get the egg white ones, but there is almond flour and coconut flour. Whatever, call it what you want, I'll call it delicious.

Merchandise

More cute and cuddly stuff. Especially the kitties.
