These macaroons were delicious! I made them for a potluck and they were a huge hit. I'll definitely be making them again.

Not bad, but not great either. I found the macaroons to be a bit dry and the cherry flavor was a bit too strong for my liking.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Not a fan of these macaroons. I found them to be too sweet and the texture was a bit off.

These macaroons were a bit too chewy for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I might try baking them for a few minutes less next time.

Easy to make and so delicious! I used fresh cherries from my tree and they were perfect. My family loved these macaroons and they disappeared quickly.

These macaroons were incredibly delightful! The combination of cherries, coconut, and almonds created a perfect balance of flavors. They were chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, just how I like them. I'll definitely be making these again s
