Coconut macaroons from The Violet Bakery Cookbook (page 154) by Claire Ptak

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Sped up stovetop time by using dessicated honey. Baked in paper cupcake liners as shown in the photo, but that was a mistake… they stuck to the paper.

    My mixture never "dried out" either, but wow are these good.

    These are honestly one of the best things I've ever made. Have made them so many times and every time they're flawless. Make these at the same time as making Violet Bakery's Egg Yolk Chocolate Chip Cookies as suggested by Claire. They're the perfect way to use the leftover egg whites from that recipe.

    These are delicious! Husband declared them to be among his top then cookies ever. Very easy to make, however I had some issues with the instructions. Recipe tells you to keep stirring the mixture until it thickens and dries out. After 30 minutes of stirring and no drying I gave up and just scooped the mixture onto the baking sheet with my smallest ice cream scoop, which worked perfectly as well. Will definitely go into regular cookie rotation!
