    Need to make GF. Could I use almond flour or almond with equal parts of GF flour, hopefully it possible.

      I would try gluten free flour, it works better at binding the ingredients together than almond flour does.

    Hi Kara,
    Finally…..a macaroon recipe worth making again. Thanks so much. This is a keeper. Just wondering if you have ever frozen them and if so, how were they out of the freezer. Also, how do you store yours, room temperature or in the refrigerator, and how long are they fresh for. It’s just my husband and I and we don’t need all 26. So happy I go that many, but want to save some for our kids for Christmas. I’m going to dip mine in white chocolate and put some red and green sprinkles on and add them to my cookie trays. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

      So glad you loved them! I’ve never frozen them before, but I think they would work just fine. I usually just store mine at room temperature, and they last for 5 days. They may last longer, but we always eat them before that. 😉
      I love the idea of adding festive sprinkles, so fun!

    Hi Kara,
    Can you please tell me if the 5-1/2 cups of coconut equals the 14oz bag
    sold in grocery stores?

      If I remember correctly, that is about the amount in a 14 ounce bag. But it’s been awhile since I made them, so there’s a possibility I’m wrong. 😉

    Love this recipe. Very easy. I made them a little smaller & got over 3 dozen. Half dipped in chocolate & half putting have a cherry on top before baking.

    Hi can I roll them into balls with my hand or does that make them too firm?

      They are pretty sticky, but you could try rolling them in balls. They will probably still spread as they cook though, so it might not be worth the trouble. You could certainly give it a try!

    Do you use sweetened or regular coconut?

      I use sweetened, but I think they would be fine with unsweetened as well.

    How many cookies does this recipe make?

      It is pretty adaptable, you can make the cookies large or small depending on how many you need. I usually get about 24 cookies.
