I hardly ever write reviews on this site...but OMG! I too did not consider myself a macaroon fan although I love almond joy candy bars. Alton, this must be the recipe for almond joys but with macadamia nuts! Absolutely incredible. I accidentally made my cookies too big so they kind of flattened out a bit but they still looked pretty with the chocolate and nuts. More importantly, they tasted amazing!

my hubby is real picky when it comes to cookies, these he couldn't stop eating nor I. .......it seems some people have problems with egg whites beating up right....I learned this from a farm woman that had polio long ago.....put eggs in a bowl and fill with hot TAP water let sit a few mins.....dry eggs.....you don't want any water and you'll never have another problem. ty Alton yummy

I made five different cookie recipes from the Food Network for the holidays to give to friends and family. By far, the macaroons were the biggest hit. Absolutely decadent! I made a double batch at first and those quickly disappeared. I made another double batch a week later and they are almost gone! Alton should be arrested because these are soooooo addictive!

I made these for a friend who is on a gluten-free diet, and the cookies came out great! Everyone who likes coconut loved them. The recipe is very easy to make (I used a stand mixer to beat the eggs, although somewhat time consuming since I didn't have the right size cookie scooper and used a measuring spoon to scoop the cookies out.

I did a lot of Xmas baking and this was by far the biggest hit, even with those who do not care for coconut. I had never made macaroons before and am always a little worried when dealing with whipping egg whites and folding ingredients. Some reviews had me concerned that this would be a technique sensitive recipe, but it was easy. I followed it exactly and they came out perfect (even though I only have a hand mixer with 2speeds, fast and faster. I'm not sure why some people struggled. I can only guess incorrect measurements or cold eggs. Timing was perfect at 22 mins for small icecream scoop. Great recipe.

Alton has done it again- this is hands down one of the easiest, most delicious cookie recipes. My husband is not a fan of coconut and even he thought these were fabulous. Soooo delicious!!!

They are easy to make and delicious!! I doubled the recipe. I made them for treat bags for all my managers at work as a little thank you Christmas gift and I made some with white chocolate for my son that does not like chocolate. This is my yearly go to Christmas recipe.

They were easy to make. Cut the chocolate in half. I had a ton left over. I had to bake mine longer, so just be sure they are lightly browned.

These Macaroons were absolutely DIVINE!! I couldn't stop eating them (diabetic - geez :( They were by far the favorite out of the 6 different cookies that I baked for a Holiday Dinner AND the gift baskets that I presented each member with! So easy and quick to make and worth the effort. They Look beautiful and taste heavenly...definitely will become one of my holiday repeats!!
