These chewy cookies are my husband's favorites, so he requests them often. I like to make the macaroons on cold winter days and keep them in an airtight bowl on the kitchen counter. They never last long!—Peggy Key of Grant, Alabama

These were very good and easy. Mine did run a little in the oven, but nothing that prevented my family from eating all of them!!! Will be making again.

Did not have any running problems and followed the recipe exactly as printed. Also dusted part of the recipe with cocoa powder and part with lemon zest. Unless these ingredients would be incorporated into the batter, I didn't get much flavor from them. But, loved the original just fine.

I made 3 batches of these for Easter and find it a lot easier than using egg whites. Delicious. Joan

The cookie is good. I did try to cook the cookie at 300 degree and they started to go flat. I moved the temperature to 325 and added extra coconut and cooked on a greased parchment paper sheet. They came out perfect. I live in utah and my altitude is much higher than Ala. Adustment makes the differents between a good receipe and a great receipe.

Made these today, mixed them and then refrigerated while I cooked dinner and then baked them. I added a bit more coconut because I had about 3 cups and didn't want to save that bit, when I did bake I used parchment paper. They came out beautiful, chewey and oh so yummy. I had to have one before it was completly cooled. This is one recipe that I will make many times as I love macaroons.

Terrible! The mixture was too sticky. The cookies "ran" in the oven. Won't make them again.
