I could not get them off the paper. After 25 min of baking time the bottoms got very dark. Had to throw out the entire batch.

This is my favorite coconut macaroon recipe. The cookies are light, soft, and chewy.

Great recipe. After reading several reviews I decided to make this recipe as is but did refrigerate the batter for an hour before using. I made about 2TBSP size cookies cooked on parchment paper for 20 minutes (I'm at 3600 ft and have found cooking times are often shortened. The cookies puffed up just like the picture and turned out beautifully. I dipped half the batch in bittersweet chocolate, YUM! I will absolutely make these again.

Excellent and Easy!! I have made this recipe 3 times now. The key is to not let the mixture get too runny and use a small ice cream-type scoop or melon baller and you will have success. I also found that a baking time of 20-25 minutes is about right, otherwise they will burn. I am going to try dipping them in chocolate tonight. Love it!

This was the worst recipe ever for macaroons. I tried to do this recipe twice, thinking maybe my eggs were too cold or not whiped enough. I've always trusted Ina's recipes. But these babie ran all over the cookie sheet no matter what I tried (Silpat, higher oven temp, lower oven temp, very stiffly beaten egg whites, etc. And they were very sticky to the teeth...like you'd still have bits of these cookies on your teeth for a snack an hour after you ate it! Never again!

These were good, but it is not a make ahead cookie. They do not keep well.

These macaroons were a HUGE disappointment. Aside from being incredibly runny and ugly looking they were way tooooooooo sweet. I've made macaroons tons of times, using many different recipes and this was by far the worst. Very disappointing as I usually love Ina's recipes and find them, generally, reliable. Martha Stewart, whose recipes often don't work for me, has an incredibly easy and much less sweet macaroon made with unsweetened coconut that is delicious. Sorry, Ina, but this recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. YUCK!

these were amazing!!!!!!!!!!! i made them 2 days ago i got 24 cookies and in half an hour they were all gone and we were only 4 people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i read just read previous reviews i don't understand how this got 4 stars it should definitely get 5!
i didn't refrigerate the batter and i didn't use room temperature eggs and they turned out perfect!!!!!!!! but it is important to check on these after 20-25min they'll be golden brown and ready!! and to make hem look cute i used pink cupcake cases to bake the batter in and they looked great and tasted perfect!! loveeeeeeeeeeeee them!!! thanks ina!!!!!!!!!
