These macaroons were easy to make, but they didn't turn out very well. They were too dry and crumbly.

These macaroons were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't taste very good. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had a hard time finding unsweetened coconut flakes, so I used sweetened coconut flakes instead. The macaroons turned out a little too sweet, but they were still good.

These macaroons were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
