I was conflicted by these. The taste is amazing. I could even eat the batter by itself it's so good. Baking was difficult. I used a cookie scoop and the bottoms would brown and harden but the tops would still be "raw." So the next batch I made them thin and small like cookies and they spread like crazy and were very sticky. Again, taste was great but then they didn't really look like macaroons. It must be something I am doing wrong. They are tasty, but wasn't something I was able to add to my candy/cookie tray.

I have to agree with everybody else -- these are wonderful!! Made them for hubby's coworkers and they all wanted the recipe! So simple -- yet so tasty and delicious! I think I'll make them again next week.

EVERYONE who eats these LOVES them!!! I am not a baker, but even I can't screw these up. So easy, so yummy, and they look a little fancy, too.

Yummm! I LOVE coconut and the simplicity of these macaroons are amazing. So easy, with such a great flavor. I will be adding these sweet morsels to my holiday cookie trays this year. Thanks for posting luvcook'n.

Wow! These are EXCELLENT! I found scooping them to be a challenge until I started scooping with a large spoon and using my fingers to slide it onto the cookie sheet. Mine were all about the same size (slightly bigger than 2") and I got 42 out of this recipe. I love the flavour of these. They have a sweet/toasty flavour to them. Perfect. I know that I will be making these again and again. I used low-fat condensed milk to make them a wee bit healthier and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for posting such a wonderful recipe!
