Why is everyone getting so upset with each other? We're talking about dessert people. Let's get happy :)

These are indeed macarons. NOT MACAROONS or Whoppy Pies.

We understand that they are not called "macaroons"... In fact, we understood after the first comment. There is literally no need to keep saying it...

While these might be delicious they are most certainly NOT macaroons.

These are M A C A R O N S, not M A C A R O O N S

The macarons are made with egg whites and sugar- there is NO coconut. Macaroons have coconut

Please don't call them whoopie pies either--the correct term is the French word "macaron". Not macaroons or whoopie pies!

It's 'macaron' not macaroon...not chocolate and coconut, as we know it. Also, it's 'fewer calories' not 'less calories'.

Nice recipes, but there's nothing "healthy" about them. Just about every time fat is eliminated or reduced in a recipe refined carbs are substituted which are worse than a little bit of butter or oil.

I hate it when people call whoopie pies macaroons, they are clearly not macaroons people!!
