Macaroons came to France in 1533 with the pastry chefs of Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henri II.
Macarons gained fame in 1792 when two Carmelite nuns seeking asylum in Nancy during the French Revolution (1789-1799), baked and sold macarons in order to support themselves, thus becoming known as "the macaron sisters". The macarons they made were a simple combination of ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar. No special flavors. No filling. Just 100% cookie.
It wasn't until the 1900s that Pierre Desfontaines of Parisian pastry shop and café Laduree decided to take two cookies and fill them with ganache. Today Ladurée continues to be one of the first stops for macaron-crazed fans in Paris.
The first macaroons were almond meringue cookies similar to today’s amaretti, with a crisp crust and a soft interior.
