flavor is good, but i did everything exactly as directed and ended up with a cookie sheet full of melted together mess! they did NOT stay together even a little bit. i ended up letting them cool and cutting them into squares. like i said, i like the taste, but i will not be using this recipe again.

A really nice macaroon recipe just like my Canadian mother-in-laws! It must be a north American thing as (in Australia) all our left over egg whites normally go into pavlova! I will remember to make this again now that I know how simple it is. I used baking paper rather then the greased and floured trays.

I can see why this is a favorite, excellent recipe. I cut the sugar back to 8 ozs and used unsweetened, medium coconut. Don't do what I did! I used lightly greased floured Foil on the cookie sheet and Uh Oh It was a little tought getting them off. On a solid cookie sheet it would have been no problem, Thanks Eve

Excellent recipe, Eve! I whipped these up so quick, and they were wonderful. I love the soft, chewy texture. Thanks for posting this one!!
