Expert Tips

Top each cookie with a macadamia nut instead of a cherry for a tropical treat.

Dip one end of each macaroon into melted chocolate for a touch of indulgence.

Made these for my Mom for her birthday and she loved them! I used a chocolate chip on top instead of the cherry. I lined the cookie sheets with foil and found that a lot of them were sticking or ripping the foil trying to get them off. I will use parchment paper next time. Macaroons aren't the easiest cookies to execute, but worth it in the end!

Took me a couple tries to get it right (when they say DO NOT UNDERBEAT, they mean it; besides its a good workout for your arm if you''re using a hand mixer like I do). But they were phenomenal (even my mess-ups were tasty). I used a variety I found in one of the BC cookbooks (1/4 tsp mint extract and 6 oz chocolate chips- -I used minis- -and omit coconut).
