Ina's Coconut Macaroons image

This recipe comes from one of my many Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. I've tried many coconut macaroon recipes and this one is by far the best. For an extra special treat I have been known to dip the bottoms in bittersweet chocolate.

Overall, I thought these macaroons were pretty good. They were easy to make and tasted good, but they weren't anything special.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my macaroons didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a little dry and crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these macaroons were actually really good. The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
