I am going to serve this with a chocolate-espresso-brandy sauce with fresh raspberries. This cake tastes better after sitting overnight in the fridge. It tastes more moist. You can't taste the chickpeas at all and I love that it is dairy-free. It tastes very rich. I think next time I make it I will use some coconut flakes and cocoa powder. I used 1/2 cup sugar instead of 3/4 based on what other people wrote and I think that is okay. If you want a sweeter cake you should try the original recipe, though.

I recently made this to serve at a luncheon for a light dessert. First, let me say my favorite thing about the recipes was how fast they were to put together!! Super easy, just make sure your egg whites are stiff. After reading other reviews I did double the recipe, but not the sugar. They came out perfect and I will make them again.I like to think they are a lighter less dense version of a macaroon.

Very easy. I used honey bunches of oats for the cereal. Made into 24 instead of 36. Baked 12 minutes on a greased sheet. Really good. Whole family liked them.

Definitely not what I was expecting. I cut back on the sugar and still way too sweet. I used parchment paper and the cookies stuck and came apart when I tried to remove them.

A coconut lover's dream! I cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup, added more cornflakes because the mixture was a bit too wet and drizzled chocolate on top after baking. I also kept them in the fridge. Really, really yummy!

I don't know what went wrong. my batter is dry and crumbly, so it was impossible to drop on baking sheet. i had to ball them with my hand (messy process) and still they crumbled. nevertheless, the taste is good and coconut lover will like it. i reduce the sugar by half a cup though. Edit: I get fed-up with the crumbly mix, so i added some melted butter. it stick a bit but still crumbly but the taste is more delicious :D

Excellent texture and easy to make, but only slightly more interesting than a regular coconut macaroon. I think next time I might add more corn flakes to add more of a different texture.

A great coconut macaroon recipe, thanks for sharing LG ! The cornflakes add a biscuity taste and give a crunch. I followed the advice of many reviewers and cut the amount of sugar in half (125g) and it was fine for me (I did not use sweetened coconut and frosted cornflakes). It took 5 minutes to beat the egg whites until stiff and I baked the cookies for 13 minutes and they were golden, chewy and crunchy. A keeper !!!

These are great! I actually didn't have corn flakes so I used rice krispies and that worked really well. I also used almond extract in addition to the vanilla. I cut the sugar in the recipe more than half.

Wow! These are absolutely fantastic! I drizzled some melted chocolate on half the batch and took some to work - they were a huge hit. They do stick to the pan a little, will try the parchment paper next time.

I love this recipe. They are very very sweet but is full of goodness. I did cut the sugar in half because I used Frosted Flakes. Even if you use plan corn flakes I think you could still cut out some sugar. My boyfriend doesn't even like coconunt that much and he ate them up. On the last batch I experimented and put almond pieces in and they were even better they candied in the cookie but gave it something other than sugar. A winning recipe. I wish I had found it at Christmas.

These are not bad but they are very sweet. I love sweet stuff so I completely disregarded the reviews warning of this. If you like coconut candies, you'll love this. If you're looking for cookie in the traditional sense, this will be a bit of a disappointment.

We LOVED these cookies! My husband, who thought he hated coconut, tried one and was hooked. He just asked when I was going to make his favorite cookies again - meaning these. Yes they are very sweet, but that is fine with us!

Would have been a 5 star if not for being way too sweet. Reduced sugar by half and it was still a little sweet. It seems to be better the second day.. seems to be less sticky. Experimented with a few adding mini-chocolate chips.. it was pretty good.
