I love that these macaroons are gluten-free. They're a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually liked these macaroons. The chocolate topping really helped to balance out the coconut flavor.

These macaroons were a bit dry, but the chocolate topping helped to make them more moist.

I thought these macaroons were just okay. They weren't as coconutty as I was hoping for.
