I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these macaroons. The dates and nuts were enough to balance out the coconut flavor.

These macaroons are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over after making smoothies, and this is a great way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons came out too dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These macaroons are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
