We loved these cookies! 'Perfection'. I didn't have any trouble at all getting them off the cookie sheet like others have reported, I used just baking spray. I mixed in 1/4 C. flour instead of the small amount of cornstarch. I also did not use any chocolate, but they were great anyway!

I found these sweets quick and easy to make. They would add an old fashioned touch of elegance to any tray of goodies. I used parchment to line my cookie sheet, and had no trouble with sticking, but I slightly under-baked the first sheet and they ended up too soft. Just make sure the edges are golden and they should be fine. Also, they spread our alot! I thought I was making pretty small drops, until they came out! They were about four times larger in diameter! All in all, very, very good!

I tried the 1st batch as directed-and I ended up with cookies that had spread over the whole pan. The 2nd batch, I omitted the cornstarch, replaced 1/4 c of sugar with icing sugar (confectioners) and added 2tbsp of flour. Beautiful!

I thought these were super easy to make and tasted great. They are very sweet, but that is how i like cookies. I made a double recipe using half splenda and half sugar. My cookies did not stick to the pans, i guess that has happened to other reviewers. I did grease the pans and coat with cornstarch and they came right off with a spatula.

As per the other reviews, my macaroons also flattened out and I couldn't get them off my cookie sheet in one piece. AND, even worse, my husband wouldn't even eat them, and he's not one to pass by anything sweet, even if it is in pieces. Will never make this recipe again.

Mine did flatten out and were tricky to get off the pan, but they tasted so good that I didn't care! Loved this recipe.

These were certainly sweet and chewy, but wouldn't call them "easy". Agreed with the others, they flattened out during baking and were difficult to get off the floured sheet. Ended up reforming the cookies, putting the chocolate on and then put them in the fridge.

Really easy, good consistency although HARD to get off the pan. Try sticking it in the freezer to have the macaroons pop off. Not a super coconutty flavor but not bad either. Tasty all in all.

I made a double batch of these. I did drizzle them with chocolate. It adds a really snazzy touch to them. My first batch I followed the directions. I found that greasing and starching the cookie sheet DID NOT work. They were difficult to remove and frustrating. The second batch I used parchment paper which worked wonderfully. Whoever invented parchment paper deserves a scratch and sniff sticker!

These cookies tasted very good but my cookies flattened out and the edges got very crispy. I will definitely try these again and hopefully get it right.

I rated a little low on the kid friendliness just because I'm not sure many kids like coconut. These are wonderful tasting and very easy. I omit the chocolate and add a little almond extract for variety. I have also made these with Splenda and can't tell the difference from regular sugar. You don't have to know how to cook to make these great cookies.
