I was looking for diabetic-friendly, low-carb treats and I've always liked macaroons. These are good; I've made them a couple times. I usually use xylitol instead of sugar and put craisins and pecans in them. Thanks for posting.

Great recipe! These are probably the simplest, quickest cookies I've ever made, and really tasty. I used dried cherries, and substituted chocolate chips for the nuts. I had to use my fingers a bit to form the cookies since there was more dried fruit/chocolate than coconut/egg mixture to hold it together. If I would suggest anything, it is maybe to add more coconut/eggs, but they turned out fine as is. I used parchment paper on the sheets, and the cookies came right off. Thanks for a great recipe!

A mini-bakeathon and I needed an easy cookie that did not require chilling or a mixer. Had all the ingredients on hand and decided this recipe would complement the other treats on the tray. My particular batch included chopped dried ginger, cranberries and apricots along with macadamia nuts which gave the cookie a nice tropical flourish. Because mine were a wee be larger (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) they took about 18 minutes to cook, but well worth the wait. The cookies had a beautiful golden exterior with a characteristic soft and sweet inside. The addition of the fruits and nuts were just wonderful and made for a terrific variation on a classic. Thanks.

YUM! I made these using dried apricots, and dropped them by tablespoons instead of teaspoons, followed the recipe exactly only I used almond extract in place of vanilla, thank Kel!...Kitten
