Macaroon vs macaron

This has really been bugging me for a super long time and one thing that really annoys me to no end because it's so foreign-posh that everyone assumes that it's the right one when it's not.

It's really simple.

The not so pretty ones - DOUBLE 'O' The pretty ones - ONE 'O'
The ones that don't resemble burgers - DOUBLE 'O' The burger look a likes - ONE 'O'
The one dipped in chocolate - DOUBLE 'O' The one with a creamy ganache filling - ONE 'O'
The cookie looking one - DOUBLE 'O' The smoother looking one - ONE 'O'


To make it easier... here's a visual reference...

These are macaroons....









And these are macarons...
