Originating from European baking traditions and later adapted across regions, these treats are known for their crisp outer layer and soft, chewy centre. In many Indian bakeries, coconut macaroons became a staple due to the easy availability of desiccated coconut and minimal ingredient requirements. Their quick preparation and balanced sweetness make them suitable for both everyday indulgence and special occasions.
