THESE COOKIES earned me a first-place ribbon at the county fair. They remain my husband's favorites—whenever I make them to give away, he always asks me where his batch is! I especially like the fact that the recipe makes a small enough batch for the two of us to nibble on. —Penny Ann Habeck Shawana, Wisconsin

based on the other ratings i will give you 5 stars lol. i was just wondering if the coconut should be sweetened or unsweetened, i am guessing that it is unsweetened on the fact that there is sugar in the recipe but i wanted to make 100% sure, thanks

These are very moist and delicious! My husband loves them and he's not even a huge fan of coconut! I used a mini cupcake pan to ensure that the egg white did not run out of the coconut and they came out perfect!!! A little red and green sugar gave them a pretty holiday look.

The cookies came out perfectly. They were fast, and looked very pretty. However, for my own gluttonous and rather bruttish tastes (giggle) I wanted them a little sweeter and a bit more moist (this would probably mean adding some fat like condensed milk). They ARE delicious, though. I'll make them again and I probably won't change a thing since it was so easy and it saves adding more fat. Thank you!

I have had store bought macaroons here and there-I am 48 years old and never made them before-I found this recipe -EXCELLENT and so easy to make- one batch got a bit browner, and it was still amazingly good. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I was looking for a quick and easy yet delicious macaroon recipe and I found it. My husband loved it! I followed the recipe to the letter and all I can say is I will have to double the recipe next time, just not enough with 1 batch!

Just made this for a church event. I have already been contacted by 3 people for the recipe. Double the recipe, it is that good! I made as directed except I started by beating the egg whites a bit then added all the other ingredients one at a time, ending with the coconut. I used almond extract instead. I used two teaspoons to drop and form the small mounds on parchment paper instead of greasing the pans. At 20 minutes they were perfect! Thanks for a recipe I am proud to share.

Quick & easy to make. In my over they were done in 15 mins. Lightly browned & crunchy on the outside & soft & chewy on the inside. I combined the mixture in the bowl using a fork. Instead of using a teaspoon to drop cookies onto baking sheet, I used 1/2 tablespoon instead. The cookies came out a nice size. I cooked the cookies on parchment paper. These cookies are delicious.

I followed this recipe exactly as instructed. I didn't beat the egg whites. I didn't add chocolate or pecans or any other bells and whistles. The macaroons were crunchy around the edges, fluffy and moist on the inside and simply delicious. I mixed everything rapidly in a little bowl, by hand, and popped the dollops into the oven for 20 minutes. Hey presto! Macaroons that would give Earth Fare's a run for their money. My husband loved them. Thank you so much for sharing this -- you deserve that first-place ribbon.
