I wanted a coconut macaroon that tastes like one from a bakery. These did not compare :-( They are not as sweet and the texture is as if you are eating shredded coconut right out of the bag- not so with macaroons from a bakery. They stuck together well and held their shape but the but didnt have a uniform texture like a macaroon should. The outside was kind of "candied" and chewy and the inside was hardley different than shredded coconut right out of the bag! Needs to be sweeter, smoother, and uniform texture throughout. Wont make again. Edible, but gave a one just to make a dent in the 4 star review. Coming from a macaroon connoisseur, PLEASE dont be fooled by the 4 star review. Definately not worthy of more than 2.75 stars

The first time I made the macroons they were runny. I now only use 3/4 can of the condensed milk. Also, I add a little almond extract. They are delicious !!

I can't imagine why peoples batter was runny? Did you not beat the egg whites stiff enough or possibly use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk? Either way these were super easy and yummy. Great use of left over egg whites from eggnog recipe. Love!

The batter was so runny. I couldn't figure out why, then I realized that the coconut measurement is by weight not volume so following the line on a measuring cup will not work. I added more coconut, about 3 1/3 cups and they were great.

I did everything according to the instructions. The batter was so runny. I put a couple in the oven just to see if by some miracle they would rise. They were flatter than a pancake. I have no idea what went wrong. I ended up putting them in a oblong dish, baking them and then rolling them into balls and coated them in chocolate. We now have macaroon chocolates. They did taste good.

These are very easy to make. These are the macaroons I've always loved when I was a kid but could never find them to buy. Thank you!

These were AMAZING!! They were quick and simple to make. It's a great recipe to make with kids!! I love how the condensed milk caramelized around the bottom of the cookies. So delicious!!!!!

I have made these many times and think Ina's recipe is the BEST for macaroons, and it's very easy! I use unsweetened coconut to lessen the sweetness a bit and add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla. I solved the "puddling" issue by beating the egg whites until they were very stiff and dry and adding 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to get really fluffy whites at our 7,000 foot altitude. Everyone loves them! Thanks, Ina, for another wonderful recipe. Suzanne
