Small detail, there's a picture of macarons and not macaroons.

A macaron is a sandwich-like cookie that's filled with jam, ganache, or buttercream. A macaroon is a drop cookie made using shredded coconut.

Macaroon is just the English word for the French word macaron.

The people in your 3 examples are wrong.

And Macaron is the French word for Macaroni. Think how that makes the Italians feel.

Don't let anyone try to convince you that up is down. Word was spelled wrong. Period.
