Excellent recipe Ina, not sure why a few fellow posters are having difficulty with this recipe. Perhaps some did not use (room temp. eggwhites? I have made this particular cookie several times and it has always turned out perfect!! Thank you.

Something is wrong with this recipe. The batter was perfect until they started to bake. They were in the oven for 12 minutes and smoke started pouring out of the oven. The bake time must be wrong on this recipe.

I've made this twice - definitely tricky to get the batter just right - but very yummy! I like it best with: unsweetened coconut and dipped in melted Dark Chocolate Coconut bar that I get from Whole Foods (365 brand in candy aisle. I'm particular about preservatives so I get finely shredded unsweetened coconut from Whole Foods (or sweetened shredded coconut at Trader Joe's during the winter holiday season. It's helpful to read other reviews suggesting what to do about preventing a runny batter. I also use a small ice cream scooper so I can make double the amount of macaroons.

The batter was not at all runny - my 6 yr old made them almost by herself! They did stick to the parchment a bit, but they are delicious and somewhat chewy - almost like the middle of a mounds candy bar. Don't know why others are complaining - just follow the recipe - if you don't whip the egg whites, they WILL be runny. or if you don't use SWEETENED CONDENSED milk.

These were VERY watery and stuck to the parchment paper. They were not even edible. I do not recommend this recipe!

I don't know why people are complaining about ugly and runny. Mine turned out perfect. I did whip up a pretty powerful meringue, so maybe that is the issue people are running into. I also felt like these had the perfect blend of chewy yet toasted crunchy. This is definitely staying on my baking list.

PS: I added three tablespoons of key lime juice and some lime zest to these this go around. YUMMMMY. I have to keep myself from eating them all up before the party!

Very disappointing. It's runny and shapeless, tastes like coconut out from the box. They didn't make it to my holiday table, real waste of time and money.

Oh, Ina! I am a huge fan and decided to try your recipe this year, rather than the one I have been using for years. What a mistake! The flavor is good, but the consistency is terrible. The batter is runny and I read reviews complaining of this problem prior to making it. I agree with another reviewer that, based on appearance, I cannot give these away to friends and so I have to buy more ingredients and go back to my old recipe. How annoying is that?

runny, stuck to the wax paper and fell apart. Flavor was there, like all Ina recipes, but had to throw out and couldn't gift to my friends as intended :(. What a waste!
