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. For the best lemon macaroons, using fresh, high-quality ingredients is essential to achieve the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
