I have been craving something light and sweet in this hot weather. These were a perfect fit. I used banana extract and a lil yellow food coloring for effect. yumm. even the kids ate them up

I was looking for a lighter version of coconut macaroons. I decided to try modifying this one with almond extract instead of vanilla and adding shredded sweetened coconut after reaching stiff peaks. Worked wonderfully! It pushed the calorie count up but they are stilll lighter than usual macaroons both in texture and calories. Besides I got quite a work out as I do not have a hand held mixer, couldn't think of a way to get a double boiler into my stand mixer and had to beat with a wisk! Whew! The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is the double boiler part. Thank you Abby for the great recipe and others for the helpful suggestions and recommended alterations.

Nummy Good! I flavored this with cotton candy flavoring, put into pastry bag with #23 tip & piped into little clouds. As well, I put blue, pink, and yellow color paste for a little drama. They were a hit!

If you have problems getting your meringue to peak, you should add a small amount of cream of tartar. It should fix the problem.
