I'm not usually a fan of macaroons, but these were really good. They were chewy and flavorful, and the coconut and almond flavors were perfectly balanced.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I love these macaroons! They're so easy to make and always turn out great. I usually add a little bit of chocolate chips for extra flavor.
