How They Became Maui’s Most Amazing Coconut Cookie

A Story of Macaroons

The consensus is that the word “macaroon” comes from the Italian word ammaccare which means to crush. This references the almond paste which historically was its main ingredient. Almonds were introduced to Venice by Arab invaders beginning in the 7th century. Egg whites and sugar were then added to create the cookie. Over time, shredded coconut replaced almonds and many variations of the macaroon recipe exist today. Of course, we think OUR recipe is the best, we invite you to try!

Our Macaroons are baked fresh to order using the best combinations of tropical ingredients such as coconut, pineapple, Lilikoi/Hawaiian passionfruit, and macadamia nuts. It will surely leave your mouth watering for more. Explore all the flavors.
