The True French Macaron

This is the true French macaron! A rustic almond cookie made from ground almonds, sugar, and egg white. Typically crisp and lightly crackled on the outside, with a softer, slightly chewy center. Their flavor is intensely almond with a delicate sweetness and a faint toasted nuttiness. There’s no ganache, buttercream, or filling. The next time you're exploring around Bordeaux (specifically Saint-Émilion), you'll find them! If you've had them, do you prefer these or the ubiquitous Parisian macaron? Given the choice, I would choose these!
