Mine spread too much. Very stick in your teeth chewy. Made the whole house smell great!
Quick & delicious recipe. A family favorite!
These are fabulous! Quick and easy to make. Just delicious. (I didn’t make pyramids, I just made plops. Worked great. Gather up any stray strands of coconut – push them into the nearest plop – the wayward strands will burn.
My first attempt at this favorite treat. Fast and easy recipe yielding exactly what I was looking for. Macaroons that stay mounded and didn’t spread. They are not too sweet which makes them very coconut forward with sweetness that enhanced rather than detracted as I felt the recipes with sweetened condensed milk might do. I dipped a couple half way into bittersweet chocolate but took advice from other reviewers and dipped only the bottom on the rest, ensuring some chocolatey goodness in most bites. I will make this again. Enjoy!
I had never made macaroons before , tried at Christmas and made multiple batches to give. Had requests for them as well. Going to make for Easter also. I dipped bottom in chocolate and would like to try to add a flavor as well this time. Loved these!
So easy to make. Perfect for my non dairy son in law. They’re rich so one macaroon could satisfy. My batch made about 23 but I think mine are on the larger side. The tip about wet hands to form the balls was a good one.
Excellent and easy!
This was the simplest recipe. And so delicious!
I just amped it up a bit by melting chocolate and drizzling it over top!
Either way quite scrumptious!
