I have not eaten macaroons in a long time.
My preferred form.
It has been quite a long time since I've eaten macaroons.
I would remove the plural from this second one & recast it as
It has been quite a long time since I ate a macaroon
which would then make it quite OK.
This last one makes no sense at all
I haven been a long time no eaten macaroons.

+1 You could also have I've gone a long time now without having a macaroon Commented Nov 15, 2014 at 20:43

1As for #2, I'd use a contraction and omit the quite, i.e.: It's been a long time since I've had a macaroon.– J.R. ♦Commented Nov 16, 2014 at 0:13

In England you would probably hear:
'I haven't had macaroons in ages.' or: 'I've not had macaroons in ages.'
'It's been ages since I've had macaroons.'
