Thanks for this recipe! Easy to make and delicious. Definitely if using sweetened coconut reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup. I’ve made these twice and found that a bit (maybe 1/4 to 1/3 cup) of additional coconut helps keep the macaroons firm and lofty. For a bit of extra flavor add a half teaspoon of vanilla extract. Yummy! These make a great gluten free treat, too.
Used unsweetened coconut, added Almond extract. Will still reduce sugar as I do not like too sweet. Husband liked very much. So easy to make. Thanks
Loved this recipe!! Very easy, be warned it’s very sweet. I used Almond extra for a different flavor and it was great!
Amazing!!! Doubled the recipe and baked for 10 minutes. Perfect
Turned out great! Crispy on the outside…chewy on the inside. Only change was addition of almond extract.
Great tasting and easy! Definitely cut the sugar in half and add almond extract.
Delicious, but I’d rename this recipe to “marshmallowy macaroons “. This is not a traditional macaroon at all. My 3-star rating is because, as recommended, I cut sugar in half & added almond extract. While they are tasty & easy, I wouldn’t want to disappoint guests by calling them macaroons.
Great recipe! Drizzled with melted dark chocolate! So delicious! Thanks for sharing recipe
Super easy, I questioned how easy it was! They turned out pretty and yummy!
Delicious! I added a dash of vanilla and some mini chocolate chips. Passover never tasted so good!
It’s AWESOME!! I doubled the recipe & added a1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans and YUMMMMMY!! TY!!
The macaroons taste amazing. I suggest using slightly less sugar if you don’t want something completely sweet. Next time I make it, I’m going to try salted caramel in it.
i made it with almonds and looked more like a biscuit but delicious
Baked 11 min. Less sugar I put 1/3 of a cup plus 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
I added 1/2 tsp. almond extract as suggested by one reviewer. Perfect. My adult son gobbled them down.
They were delicious and my family loved them!
Doubled the recipe, but used only the minimum sugar required to achieve a glossy meringue (about 2 tbsp). If you use sweetened coconut, you really don’t need to add any extra sweetness. I made 20 from the batch. Approximately 20 minutes at 375 C gave nice browned tips with soft centres.
i liked it and it was easy
Nice macaroon recipe that was in no way a let down. Of course, we give them the chocolate treatment. Easy, quick, and delicious.
These were good although a little sweet for me but I will adjust sugar the next time. I prefer egg white macaroons as opposed to sweetened condensed milk so this recipe hits home.
im making them now and added vanilla extract plan on having a chocolate dizzle on top and chocolate on the bottom as well
