VERY SWEET! In the future, I'll shop for unsweetened coconut! I mixed up the cookie ingredients and refrigerated overnight ~ I used a small cookie scoop that made 30 cookies, baked on parchment paper for 14 minutes ~ I dipped the bottoms of the cookies into the chocolate and returned them to the parchment; I then thought that more chocolate would remain on the cookie, instead of the parchment, if I laid the cookies on their side! I know now, that the chocolate would have come off the parchment intact! LOL ~ My first time to make macaroons! Made for Fall PAC 2011 ~
