Recipe Notes
You can dip the bottoms of the coconut macaroons in chocolate for an added flavor bonus - or even drizzle some over the top!
If you want your coconut macaroons to be sweeter, use all sweetened coconut. If you want it less sweet, use all unsweetened coconut. We found the mix of half and half just right!
