These macaroons were a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I needed to bake them for a little less time.

These macaroons were a bit dry. I think I needed to add more liquid to the batter.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
