Macaroon
Macaroon is a small sweet cookie often made with shredded coconut, sugar and egg white (distinct from the French macaron) and commonly served as a chewy dessert or tea-time treat. It is quite energy-dense at 460kcal per 100g, reflecting its high sugar and fat content. While enjoyable in small amounts, macaroons are low in protein and are best consumed occasionally rather than as a regular snack because of their concentrated sugars and saturated fat; choosing a lower-sugar or oat-and-nut alternative can give a similar texture with more fiber and enduring satiety.
