  Finely Shredded Coconut

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I tried these once and they did come out REALLY runny, even though I followed the directions EXACTLY. The next time I made... them I used very finely shredded coconut and they came out PERFECT. Don't use the larger, almost grated looking coconut. The smaller and finer the coconut, the better. These are a huge hit every time now!Read more

  Big hit everywhere!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  These are the best treat and easiest to make. Love only 5 ingredients! I take them to every party and they are gone... before everything else. For those who think they are too runny (which happened to one of my friends) -you have to make sure eggs medium to firm egg whites before you mix them in - don't over whip. Be soft when folding them in - if you mix too hard they will be runny. Lastly the temperature of the day counts - don't do it on a day with rain. Make sure to put on parchment paper or it won't go well. If it doesn't work the first time - try again. It is not the recipe - Sorry to say it is you. I've been making them for 2 1/2 years now and only flopped once. Read more

  Way too runny!

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  Second time I tried them and the same thing happened. I could tell before I even put them on the sheet that they would be too... runny, did the same thing as others and added more coconut but it just didn't work - very frustrating! I've never had problems with my egg whites before the only thing I could try is to make them stiffer. Any other suggestions welcome!Read more

  Taste Vary

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Thank you so much for this recipe. It's a hit at my job. i have even tried a vary of extracts to give each a different... flavor. In one I added almonds with the almond extract. They were great. I only have one problem. How do you get the parchment paper to fit correctly and stay so flat. I wish they would come up with precut paper too mfit your cookie tray. LOLRead more

  Big Hit at Parties

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I like to beat the egg whites until fluffy so they don't run so much when baking, otherwise these have been popular every... time I have taken them to parties. I also like to drizzle some of them with melted dark chocolate. You could also dip the bottoms in chocolate too.Read more

  Rave Reviews!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've made these macaroons for a few years and I always get rave reviews from those who eat them. The recipe is so easy. ... It's also a great dessert to take to a Passover Seder, as it doesn't contain flour!Read more
