Thank you for your prompt help. I have decided eventually to use المعكرون rather than ماكارونز although both are used almost equally in the Arab world. It was a bit tricky as the audience come from different arab nationalities but elite background. thank you all again

الشاي والحلويات


Explanation:
Macaroons are sweet foods made either with coconut and egg white or with a coarse almond paste formed into a dense cookie or confection. They are often confused (due to the very similar spelling) with the French Macarons which are entirely different in appearance.
