"I had some leftover coconut and went looking for a quick macroon recipe for an easy dessert. Once again, Alton comes through! I made a half batch to use up my coconut. I also added a splash of almond extract to the coconut when folding. I also used a silicone mat for baking. They came out perfect. I think the key is to beat the egg whites and sugar until VERY stiff. I need to buy more coconut. This half batch won't last the night!
