That could be the problem with the burning. I have two oven thermometers to make sure it's on target and to know where the hot spots are. Trish, is your oven temperature correct?

A lot of macaroon recipes I've come across always have condensed milk as an ingredient and I would want to try something without it so i can enjoy the sweetness of the coconut on its own. This is definitely a macaroon for the purist and wouldn't want the flavor adulterated in anyway. I will try to let the mixture sit for 30 minutes before baking the next time I bake them. Is it advisible to bake it a lower temperature??? I noticed that the bottom and edges browned immediately, way before the prescribed 20 mins baking time.

Love. They're sweet and chewy and coconut-y and much too easy to whip up at a moment's notice. I couldn't bring myself to have them for breakfast, however. The coconut macaroons remind me a bit of the coconut layer of Samoas/Caramel deLites. I might try drizzling the next batch with some caramel and chocolate just to get a fix (we don't know any Girl Scouts right now). The macaroons turned out better when I let the well-moistened clumps of coconut, as Lynne and Sally describe them, sit for 30 minutes before baking. [Susan Bingaman] I love these coconut macaroons.
