EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Substitute vanilla for almond extract, if desired. And if you’re after a purist’s macaroon, forgo dipping cookies in chocolate.

I had too much coconut that I needed to use up, so found this recipe. (I made them smaller than suggested.)They were gone the same night! Delicious! I'm making them again for a New Year's Eve party and know they will be a hit.
