These macaroon kisses were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little bit more moisture next time.

I had a hard time getting the macaroon kisses to come out of the pan. I think I needed to grease the pan more.

These macaroon kisses were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These macaroon kisses are the perfect sweet treat. They are not too sweet and they have a nice crispy outer shell with a soft and chewy inside.
