  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the nuts and coconut.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the nuts and coconut by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough.
  • Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Do not flatten the batter.
  • Bake the macaroons until they are golden brown around the edges and the tops are set. Do not overbake, or the macaroons will be dry.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheets before storing them in an airtight container.

These coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to holiday parties. With their chewy texture and sweet coconut flavor, these macaroons are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
