Beautiful! I made these and they looked just like the photo in the recipe. I added cream of tartar just to make sure and I am so proud to give these to my husband. Oh and not only did they look good they were delicious. I dipped the bottoms in dark chocolate and oh so yummy!

Light macaroon more like meringue. Very easy to make. I will stick to a more traditional coconut macaroon.

These were WONDERFUL macaroons. HOWEVER, when I read the reviews I saw that several folks complained that they weren't coconuty enough. I thought they were perfect, but THEN I noticed that I had made a mistake. I used a bag of 14oz shredded coconut, rather than the 8oz called for. It made quite a few more cookies, but they were wonderfully light AND coconuty. If you want a more intense coconut experience, increase the ratio of coconut to egg. 14oz to 4 large egg whites worked perfectly for us. The only other change we made was to add 1/8tsp of cream of tarter to the eggs, just to be safe. We loved the recipe and will be using this, rather than the condensed milk version, from now on! Happy Holidays, and thanks AB!

Very awesome recipe! I used unsweetened coconut instead and worked out great for those who don't like really sweet cookies!

Ugly, but delicious. Mine did not brown at all, so they were little grey cookies, but man they were soooo good!!! I think I will dip them in chocolate to get them pretty. Chewy, sweet, just perfect. FYI: Always bring egg whites to room temp before whipping, it's just the way I've always known to do it and it always comes out perfect

The best macaroon ever . . . light, delicious! I add about half a teaspoon of vanilla which, for me, makes them even better!

I had some leftover coconut and went looking for a quick macroon recipe for an easy dessert. Once again, Alton comes through! I made a half batch to use up my coconut. I also added a splash of almond extract to the coconut when folding. I also used a silicone mat for baking. They came out perfect. I think the key is to beat the egg whites and sugar until VERY stiff. I need to buy more coconut. This half batch won't last the night!
