Macarons or macaroons

I had plans yesterday, which never came to fruition, but may do today, to make macarons. By macaron, I mean those tiny cute little things that you sandwich together with highly flavoured filling and then sell at a vast price...or so it would seem in the shops.
However when discussing it with friends, they always say, don't you mean macaroon?
Is there a difference? - according to the internet a macaroon is a coconut bun/cake sort of thing, but I do recall as a child having a biscuit sort of thing, similar to the macarons, but bigger with an almond usually decorating it on the top.
Not that it matters, maybe it's just fashion and fanciness.
Right, must get on.
