I made these until I got it right!!! If your batter seems too wet add a little more coconut to stiffen it. As well as the only other problem was the sticking to the pan while baking, I noticed on the coconut package that they recommend you spray and dust with flour the pan much like you do with a cake, this worked,ditch the parchment it doesn't. Keep in the fridge and they will last up to a week or 10 days. I'm disappointed that some recipes don't seem to be tested or corrected. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

At first bite these are delicious, but as you continue to chew them something with the flavor is off. Bitter maybe? I think it was the cream of tartar that did this. I used vanilla instead of almond as my husband doesn't like almond. I also found cooking time almost had to be doubled in order to allow them to brown. I used parchment paper and they slid right off with no mess or sticking. There are better recipes out there, but this one is just ok.
