In reply to Jessica. I had the same problem with the batter spreading out. I also baked them longer. I may try using just 2 egg whites next time to cut back on the liquidity.

Hi Kate. I had underestimate how much shredded coconut I had and so decided to substitute half with coconut flour. Of course it was too dry so I then added the egg yolks and pressed the dough into shape. Voila! A new creation and they are so light and tender. Amazing. No harm in substituting but you do create something quite different from the original idea. That is what I love about cooking! Always surprising and sometimes dissappointing. In this case it turned out well.

I do enjoy all of your recipes and love your take on making all your dished appetising and more healthy. Congratulations. And Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.

Thank you so much for your article on “How to Measure Flour”! It answered so many questions for me regarding why baked goods turned out dry and unappealing. Measuring grams is the way to go!

My husband loves coconut macaroons and I have been searching for a recipe. Gave these a try which were easy to put together my problem was they stuck to the pan and did not come off the parchment paper very well. Not sure what I did wrong but would like to try again. I have been baking for 60+ years.

I made these delightful chocolate dipped macaroons when the recipe first came out several times. They’re a real crowd pleaser and so easy to make! Since it’s almost Passover, it’s a good time to make them again!

Hi Kate, I am so excited about this recipe. I am hosting a dinner for visiting missionaries to our church and several people have gluten or fructan issues and can’t have flour. This cookie is such a lovely answer for dessert. I love your blog I just wish mine was better. Ha ha. 85 year old granny here still trying to make my blog work.

In reply to Marianne Haran. This is best as written. Changing the sugar will impact your results, sorry!
