This is the only coconut macaroon recipe that I have ever made that I felt was successful. It has a short list of ingredients, which is also convenient. Furthermore, it is eggless -- which is important for people needing to avoid eggs for one reason or another.
I wish to give credit to the Taste-of-Home reader who sent this recipe to Taste of Home. Nancy Tafoya, of Fort Collins (CO), said about her recipe, "These are truly the best macaroon cookies I've ever tasted. The short list of ingredients makes them especially appealing to busy cooks." A picture was also shown, and they are beautiful!
