In most bakeries you’ll find these petite, sweet, bright and colorful treats, but have you ever tried one? Macarons (pronounced: mah-kah-ROHN) are meringue-based cookies sandwiched around delicious ganache, buttercream or fruit jam. They are not overly sweet, but just sweet enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. You can find these little round desserts in your local Publix bakery. The colors and flavors rotate, so you can always try something new!
Macarons are thought to have been created in Italy as a single cookie. When macarons came over to France, they upgraded the single cookie to the sandwiched dessert we know and love today. This sweet treat became so popular that it’s now enjoyed across the globe.
They are a perfect addition to any occasion, whether you’re attending a cookie exchange, wedding event or holiday gathering. Find the flavors for each season below:
- Purple – Gingerbread
- Green – Pistachio
- Red – Red Velvet
- White – Peppermint Hot Chocolate with Candy Cane
- Blue – Caramel Toffee
- Pink – Strawberry
- Yellow – Lemon

I just want to know if your macaroons are gluten free?
Hi Michelle. Please reach out to us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/publix or Twitter at https://twitter.com/PublixHelps. We would be happy to look into this for you.
OMG, I LOOOVE the macarons! My favorites are the strawberry, red velvet, caramel toffee, and the cherry blossom. Don’t care for the cinnamon roll or apple pie, myself, but I’m obsessed with the others, unfortunately. lol. What will the flavors be for Nov and Dec?
Hi Carol, I’m very happy to hear you love the macarons! The flavors should be the same for October through December.
I was unimpressed to say the least. 2 bucks a cookie and they tasted just like overly sweet speckled, candy Easter eggs. They look pretty, but that’s it. Take a big spoon of sugar, and drop in dye and extract. If you like that, you’ll love this. I usually love Publix stuff. Not this time.
I’m very sorry to hear you didn’t care for the Macaron in the Bakery. We appreciate your feedback!
