I added a teaspoon of almond extract to the egg whites before mixing and only used half the sugar and these were AMAZING! Everyone was singing my praises.
I doubled the recipe and easily made about 40 good-sized macaroons. I found that if I only baked them for 10 minutes instead of 12, they kept their snow-ball white look with golden brown tips. Pretty and tasty! At 12 minutes, you get a browner, chewier macaroon. Still tasty, less snowbally.
These cookies were just what I was looking for in a macaroon recipe, but they were a bit to sweet. I know I will make them again, but with a little less sugar!
WOW!!! So easy to make and wonderful. I made these for a Christmas dinner at my Mom's and had multiple people tell me that they are better than the traditional sticky kind. I ran out and had to make a second batch. Also you must be making HUGE macaroons to only get a dozen. I got 18-20 making normal size cookies. Thanks.
Absolutely delicious! Very simple recipe I used only 2 Tbsp of sugar and it was perfect!
Amazing!! Added 1 tsp of vanilla to the egg whites and didn't have sweetened coconut so I used unsweetened. After the Macaroons cooled I dipped them in melted semi sweet chocolate!! They look amazing and taste delicious! It's a saver!!
Great easy recipie! I added 3 squares of unsweetened bakers chocolate after I added the sugar..they turned out amazing!
Possibly one of the quickest recipes I have ever made. 5 minutes (or less) from cracking the eggs to oven. These were so simple and very good. If you like an airy sweet macaroon with a sticky tangle of coconut these are perfect. I baked on parchment for 12 minutes.
This is a winner! This made exactly 12 macaroons using a 1-Tablespoon cookie scoop. Per previous recommendations I cut the sugar in half (total 1/4 cup per batch) and I use unsweetened coconut flakes (because that's all that I had). In the next batch I will try the 1 teaspoon of almond extract and unsweetened shredded coconut. Once cooled I dipped half the macaroon into melted dark chocolate (see my photos). Let's just say that the 1st batch disappeared and now I can't wait to make a second batch.
these were really good!! definitely had to make some adjustments though. added about 1/4 cup to the final mixture to thicken it up a little bit. worked like a charm!! i topped them off with a white chocolate glaze and some cran-raisins.. everyone in the office went wild over them!
