10 French Pastries You’ll Never Get Enough Of

5. Macarons

Delicate, colorful meringue-based cookies filled with flavored ganache, buttercream, or jam. These bite-sized treats are made from almond flour, egg whites, and sugar, creating a crisp shell with a chewy center. Originating in Italy and refined in France, macarons have become iconic in French patisseries. They come in a wide variety of flavors, from classic vanilla and chocolate to rose, pistachio, or salted caramel.
