My friend was going to get me a cake but when he saw me press my face up against the glass case of macarons he picked those instead XD
Someone else got me donuts and donut holes so I had those in my mind for size comparison. That's good to know the ones we got weren't that expensive, but for the tiny size they certainly felt like it! I knew from this thread they could be higher but I wondered if that was for larger ones... guess not. I was thinking they would be the size of a brownie. For Aiwei I (attempted to) take a cute photo holding a macaron in my mouth but it looked so silly because they're so small!!
I don't see why they couldn't make it work in a bigger size...like a regular cookie.

Cooking is an issue. They need to be within a certain size and to cook just right. Regular cookies aren't crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside are they? They're either soft or hard.

This was an insightful article, "10 Signs of a Bad Macaron", along with the comments

"Excessive coloring" lol I love the super colorful ones
And places do "miniature macarons" what no you can't make them even SMALLER good god...
I guess I was thrown off by my own top image in this post



I thought they were two different sizes with the ones on the platter being bigger. (damn you perspective!)

The article you link describes the correct size as being slightly larger than a quarter which is what I got. I guess the only solution is just to get lots and lots and lots of these little things to be satisfied!

Or learn to make your own, then you can have all the macarons you want. I don't imagine that they would be easy to make though.

Haha yeah I'm sure mine would come out crappy like that. I hate cooking and baking and would never even attempt something like a macaron! Plus I hate stuff that takes more time/effort to prepare and make than it does to consume. I love beet eggs but hate that it takes hours to make what I will eat in one second, so I prefer to buy them premade at the store.

I better check my nearby trader joes so I can try those too... it was mentioned before but that they are frozen, right? Or do they have normal ones now too?

[Sakuragawa]

They're frozen. At the one I went to, they were placed in between ice cream sections. By the time I got home they were ready to eat. They need 30 minutes to thaw.

[Arisa-chan]

macarons are one of the hardest cookie to bake, even for a patissiere

anyway, there's some bigger size out there...but usually it filled with cream and mini fruit like berries

oh! so they're normal macarons just stored frozen for freshness. I was thinking it was some weird hybrid ice cream sandwich version. now I'll definitely have to pick some up!

and wow Arisa that looks delicious and I have definitely seen filled macarons like that in games, but I can't imagine biting into it, seems impossible to eat! it's only there to look at and be pretty I guess :P

[Arisa-chan]

I've seen that at one of this Korean Drama...Coffee Prince or maybe another drama 
They give us spoon or fork to eat this one, and cut it like we do with cake
since macaron is all fluffy and soft inside..it's possible to cut
unlike other cookies

WHEN DID WALMART START SELLING MACARONS NOBODY TOLD ME AHHHHHHHH



Look at these beauties. Found in the frozen aisle, $7.98 for a dozen. (That's about $1.50 each which is considered a good price.) Sadly this was their only variety but I know pistachio macarons are yummy.
I'm defrosting them now in the fridge, can't wait!!!

My walmart is 24 hours I can have macaRONS ANYTime!!!!!!!

[Arisa-chan]

I saw some like these at certain place...but without fillings
