🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making the coconut macaroon cookie recipe.
Macarons are typically made with finely ground blanched almonds, while macaroons are made with sweetened flaked coconut. Both cookies are made with egg whites, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
If your macaroons are dry, then they are overbaked.
I recommend freezing these baked, however, you can freeze them unbaked for up to three months.
These cookies are typically chewy in the center with a slight crunch on the outside.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- If you don't have parchment paper or you want to use something more sustainable you can also use a silicone baking mat to line your baking sheet.
- If you find that the chocolate starts to harden before you can add it to your piping bag, then microwave the chocolate again for 20 to 30 seconds or until it is thin again.
- To give your melted chocolate chips a smooth texture, you can add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening when you are melting it.
