I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour in this recipe. The macaroons turned out great!

These macaroons are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth the effort. They're so delicious and they make a beautiful presentation.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

These macaroons were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these macaroons were surprisingly good. The coconut flavor was subtle and the macaroons were very moist.

I've made these macaroons several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're the perfect combination of chewy and crispy.
