Amazing!!! I love these macaroons. I could eat a whole batch by myself. I dipped the bottom of the cookies in chocolate and it was fantastic (though I'm not sure this is Kosher, I'm not Jewish). They were way easy to make but I used vanilla extract instead of vanilla sugar and I used corn starch instead of potato starch (once again, probably not Kosher). This is the only recipe for coconut macaroons anyone needs. -
One of my favorite Macaroon Recipes thus far. I doubled the recipe and used 1 tsp of vanilla plus a bit in place of the vanilla sugar. Worked very very well. Thank you for adding this to the site! -
Every year, the ubiquitous coconut macaroons on Pesach. Every year I look for a recipe that just might be a little different from all the others. Every year I'm disappointed. Not this year. This year I found these macaroons, and they are different. It must be the honey, I've never had honey in my coconut macaroons before. I made one batch this morning and disappeared within minutes. I've made 3 more batches since, and it's just early afternoon. My kids keep hitting the cookie jar, I'm going to have to churn these out factory style to keep up with them. I use a pastry bag to get the pretty spiral shape, and I also use parchment paper instead of greasing the cookie sheet. Thanks, B, you saved my life this Pesach! Hope you're having a great holiday yourself!

Hi, I am a transplanted New Yorker (Upper West Side) living in Vienna (where I was born), for the past 18 years. The proud mother of 1 16 year old young man, Benjie and 1 10 year old boy Nathan. Wife of Peter, a born & bred Viennese! The latest addition to our family is Zwutsckie - A Black & White Shih Tzu. I work in the Market Research field & enjoy being confronted with new challenges & people on a daily basis. I'm also very involved in my children's school, believing that the love one receives at home & a child's education are the 2 most important factors in their future well being. My favorite hobbies? I'm a readacholic & will read just about anything - the worst thing that could happen to me would be to find myself with out a book. I also enjoy the movies & the comaraderie of "Ladies Night Out" which happens about every 2-3 weeks & last but not least collecting cook books.
