I think the nuttery sells them.
Once you get it right, they're easy to make. But it takes alot of practice to get it right.

Reviewing this recipe and I see a bunch of healthy or dietetic options. I never used them, but they’re probably good.
I never used cocoa powder.
I sometimes add chocolate chips.
A cookie scoop is a big help with these. They need to be squeezed into shape. If just dropped onto the sheet they will crumble.

(Bakingbites.com)

3 scant cups unsweetened desiccated coconut
2 large egg whites or 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds and 9 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 cup coconut sugar, sucanat, or sugar
1/4 cup potato starch, tapioca starch, or corn starch (optional) OR
1/4 cup cocoa powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla, almond, or mint extract, or any other extract that you desire (optional)

1. If using ground flax seeds instead of eggs, mix the flax seeds with boiling water, mix well, and let sit for 10 minutes. If using egg, skip.

2. Mix all the ingredients together, making sure it is uniformly mixed. It may be a drop on the dryer end- it won't be a doughy texture.

3. Wet your hands, and take small amounts of the dough, and squeeze them together to make a clump. Put this on a lined baking tray, and then shape them however you want- you can try to make pyramid shapes, but it didn't work so well for me, so I just made mounts for the rest. Either way, you want to make sure that they are fully pressed together, because if not, they won't hold together.

4. Bake at 350 for 10-20 minutes, depending on the size. Watch to see when the edges start browning, and then remove them from the oven.

Macarons are like little round miranque sandwiches. They come in all colors and are very pretty and delicate.
