    Super yummy! I did add mini chocolate chips. Made on a whim with my 7 year old, who LOVED them. She has already made lunches for school tomorrow, and packed 2 little coconut surprises in each siblings lunch bag. Will definitely make this again!

    These were missing something. Maybe some chopped chocolate would help. Not bad however. My son loved them!

    Good, solid recipe 11/28/12

    Okay, I'm giving this 5 stars because I am addicted to making these, but I DID MAKE SOME CHANGES based on Geminicat's review. I make this as written, but then add the following: a small bit of rum extract, a small bit of Frangelico or Malibu rum or whatever other yummy flavored liquor is around, and then I add MORE COCONUT to compensate for the added liquids. They taste great! Not bland at all! I have eaten two batches all by myself... this is not good! I will never buy store bought macaroons again. I think next time I'm going to try almond extract.

    Nice and chewy but a little plain. I added a dark chocolate morsel to the top of the first batch, and a few dried cranberries to the second batch,. Both variations were good. I'm going to try some orange zest in my next batch!

    Good, solid recipe 12/01/11
