Pistachio macaroons are a type of cookie or confectionery that typically consists of ground pistachios, egg whites, sugar, and sometimes almond flour. These ingredients are mixed together to form a dough, which is then shaped into small mounds or rounds and baked until golden brown. The end result is a sweet, chewy, and nutty treat with a distinct pistachio flavor. Macaroons can vary in texture and appearance depending on the specific recipe used, but they are generally enjoyed as a snack or dessert.
