I added the 2/3 c. flour someone else mentioned, and they turned out beautifully! It's a good thing I didn't find this super easy recipe earlier, because I love macaroons! ;-)

This recipe is great! I followed the recipe as far as the ingredients go... I did read another review that suggested turning up the temp of the oven for the first part of cooking, and that is what I did. This is a KEEPER!

These were so simple to make and very very tasty. My mom made them first, and then I tried them, she made hers by a teaspoon full, I thought they were too small so I used a full heaping teaspoon full, they were perfect. No sticking on the cookie sheets, nothing to making these little gems and a big hit in my family! Thanks for sharing!

Our class loved this tasty easy to make recipe- very sweet, and we changed to add 1/2 tsp Almond extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla for a full flavor. Next time we will cook them a little longer.

This has always been a favorite recipe of mine to use every year at Christmas. Over the years of making them I have learned a few things. One thing I recommend is use parchment paper or a silicone mat. I remember these were sticky and a little hard to take off the cookie sheet in years past. Another thing I recommend is once you scoop the "dough" on the mat is to damp your fingers and lightly tap down any of coconut flakes that may be sticking up to prevent burning. These cookies also need to sit awhile before enjoying being that if they don't have time to fully cool, they will fall apart. But nonetheless, great macaroon in my book. Oh, side note: I used Fat free condensed milk this time and they came out great!

This one flopped for me. I greased my pan very well even though it was non-stick, but they stuck. It was so bad I thought I would have to throw the pan away. They did taste good — what could be scraped up.

I was going to add this recipe myself, seeing as I made it last night, but I found it already on here instead! I used 8 cups of unsweetened coconut, 1 small can of sweetened condensed milk, and two teaspoons of vanilla extract. I had to use my electric mixer to mix everything really well. Simply drop these onto a well greased pan and bake for 8 minutes. They are fragile when they first come out, so be careful when you transfer them on a plate to cool. I love these simple treats!

Wonderful. I wanted to add something to my Christmas cookie plate that wasn't chocolate. These were quick, easy & very tasty. Next time I'll try either dipping in chocolate or adding chocolate chips.
