Lemon macaroons have a rich history dating back to the 8th century in Italy, where they were first created. These delightful treats were initially made with almond paste, sugar, and egg whites, and were a favorite among the Italian aristocracy. Over time, the recipe evolved, and the addition of lemon zest and juice gave the macaroons a refreshing citrusy flavor. Today, lemon macaroons are enjoyed worldwide and are a popular dessert in French patisseries. Renowned chefs like Pierre Hermé and Ladurée have perfected the art of making these delicate confections, and their versions are highly sought after.
