Cooking Notes

I've baked these macaroons every Passover since 1991, when the recipe first appeared. They are delicious. Sometimes I make a second
batch, substituting the grated zest of a large navel orange for the
chocolate. They are equally good

Made this with unsweetened coconut and they are plenty sweet. Big hit in our house. Plan to try with dark chocolate vs semisweet next time.

doesn't this make too much mixture for 24 1 teaspoon 1/2 inch apart?

I made these using the exact measurements, EXCEPT I used UNsweetened shredded coconut. We all loved them. We did not miss the extra sugar, in fact I suspect these are better without the sweetening from the coconut. Great recipe.

I make them every year for Passover. My oven runs hot so I bake them for 15 minutes or even a bit less. I use extra large eggs if I happen to have them, which I think works better than large eggs. I also use already ground almonds as it is readily available and is a time saver. After making this for the first time, I never bought those awful canned macaroons. Everyone loves these cookies and they can be made year round. A great cookie for those who are looking for gluten free.

I make this every year. I follow it to a T except I cook no longer than 15 minutes. It is the best! Even if people don't like macaroons, they like these!

Made for the first time. Seems like three egg whites isn't enough--couldn't incorporate all the coconut recipe calls for. Add another egg white next time.
