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...

choco chip cookies!

I love cookies. I love them even more if they're chocolate chip. I love them EVEN more than even more when it's got loadsa choco chips on them. So what does the babygirl do? She makes her own choco chip cookies.

Of course creativity carries the babygirl away now and then.... Yes I know it looks like little hamster/guineapig/rabbit droppings and I swear that those are Hershey's SemiSweets but it wasn't that all easy to knead and shape cookie dough with choco chips in them.... not too bad for my first attempt, eh?

My next cookie project will be another superhero logo thingamajigga... haven't really decided which one yet....
