I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these macaroons. The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the coconut flour. The macaroons were still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my macaroons came out flat and crumbly. :(

I had a hard time finding sweetened condensed milk, but I finally found it at a specialty grocery store. The macaroons were worth the effort though, they were delicious!
