3 Reviews of Baker's Angel Flake Coconut Macaroons

I had never made macaroons before and wasn't sure if I should try this recipe from the coconut package or if I should try one of the other recipe's I'd seen that used sweetened condensed milk. I decided to go with this one, and the results turned out pretty good. Instead of dipping mine in chocolate, I added semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter before shaping into balls. I did find that the cookies where I greased the pans but did not flour ended up tasting a little better for me (the greased and floured ones tasted a little too floury after they came out of the oven). All in all, I'm happy I tried them. Next time I'll try the other version with sweetened condensed milk to see which ones I like better...I was kind of hoping for a slightly moister texture than these ended up being. Thanks for posting! These are on my cookie trays this year...

These are wonderful. I toyed with a few other recipes - thinking that the one on the back of the bag was so passe - but these are the best! The only thing I do differently is whip the egg whites first. I don't do it until they're stiff - just enough to make them a bit fluffy. I'm not sure if that really does anything or not, but hey...seemed like a good idea. I also dip mine in chocolate (instructions for this are also on the back of the bag - 8 squares of semi-sweet Baker's chocolate - that's 8 ounces so I'm sure you could just substitute whatever you want). **One more note: I bake mine on parchment ... I find it really hard to get them to not stick to the pan - even when well greased/floured.

I added some finely ground almonds and dipped into melted chocolate! Used vanilla sugar-Flavored Sugar or Splenda. Sweet Chewy Goodness.
