These are the most delicious cookies I have ever made or tasted! Kind of a cross between cookie and candy. They are chewy toasty sweet crunchy and oh so wonderful! If you love coconut you will love these cookies. I used a greased cookie sheet instead of buying parchment paper and it worked fine but they did stick just a little. Also when I made the full recipe I came out with 2 dozen cookies (which fit nicely on two cookie sheets) instead of 3 dozen as suggested and they were great! The cookies would be pretty small if you made 3 dozen and maybe not as chewy (the best part!) You must try this recipe because it is so tasty and easy!
these cookies are GREAT!!! I just used 1/2 the amount of sugar that this recipe calls for.
These are awesome! I used Splenda instead of sugar and the cornflakes I used were plain with only 2gm of sugar. My guess is others were using sugared corn flakes so they came out too sweet. Next time I might drizzle bittersweet chocolate across them. Definitely making this again!
I didn't care for them all that much (too sweet)but the kids loved them! I also didnt have parchment paper and just put them on a greased cookie sheet. I checked them after 10 minutes to make sure they werent getting too brown on the bottom though. They were easy to make. Thanks!
These are the best macaroons I have ever made! The cereal gave them just the right crunch! Bravo!
Excellent cookie! Even the people who don't have a sweet tooth or aren't big cookie eaters absolutely loved it!! We did use less sugar (little less than a cup) and it turned out a little on the sweet side. Will use 3/4 cup next time and we'll experiment with chocolate (drizzle/sprinkle) next time too. But even without they were delicious and easy!! Perfect to make with kids: this time the batch was made by my 12-yr-old sister!
yummy. i am a huge coconut fan and these were perfect of rusing up an old bag i had in the fridge. i reduced the sugar by a souple of spoonfuls and it was still SUPER SWEET. also for those who are running into trouble make sure you best the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium for AT LEAST 5 mins. they have to be super super fluffy.
Would have been a 5 star if not for being way too sweet. Reduced sugar by half and it was still a little sweet. It seems to be better the second day.. seems to be less sticky. Experimented with a few adding mini-chocolate chips.. it was pretty good.
I absolutely love cooking with coconut due to its many changeable textures and these cookies were delicious. Cookin for a picky vegetarian these cookies are his new favorite. Good job.
Only tried this recipe to use up egg whites & cinnamon cornflakes. It used them up, but we didn't like 'em. No, didn't use any coconut, only cornflakes. Can't see it being any better/worse with that addition. I love meringue. L O V E IT, but these weren't close eventhough the recipe seemed like it. Oh, well. Now I know. Oh, I used 3/4c sugar & it was fine.
