coconut macaroons

Chewy island treats

Coconut macaroons are small, mound-shaped cookies made primarily from shredded coconut, egg whites, and sugar.

They have a chewy interior and slightly crispy exterior, often dipped in chocolate.

Unlike French macarons (spelled with one o), these are dense and rustic rather than delicate sandwich cookies: She made coconut macaroons for Passover.
