  1. Oh yum! I love macaroons and I love your recipe! Thanks :)
     
  2. These were very good! Very easy to make and taste great. Didn't taste "diet" at all. Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  3. First and foremost, these tasted great and were so easy to make. I just happened to have frozen some leftover egg whites so I defrosted them and made the recipe (sans the dried cherries since I didn't have any on hand). On a different note, I know that WW points system has changed recently, but when I do the calculations even discounting the dried cherries, I get 2 points -- which means these are one point per macaroon. This is a permanent addition to my cookbook and is a great treat for the WW points plan. Thanks Trixyinaz!
     
  4. I doubled the recipe and didn't quite get 48 cookies, but nonetheless they were very good. I added some additional flour so the cookies held together a bit better (probably needed it because of doubling). Also, instead of dried cherries I used a mixture of dried pineapple, mango, and papaya to make a truly tropical treat! (sunmaid raisin people make a something called tropical trio so that's what I used). Anyway, DH and his work buddies loved them and we will definitely make them again.
     
  5. These are SO good! My husband and my 2 year old son loved them so much I had to make a second batch the very next day. They are simple to make. I made them in 2 different sizes. We liked the smaller ones better than the larger.
