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.

    These are good, but definitely not as firm as many macaroons. I got twelve out of the recipe, not 20 and that was using a 1/4 scoop.

    I actually had all the ingredients on hand and needed to use up some eggs whites from another recipe. These were very quick and easy to put together. I had homemade peach ginger bourbon jam which was a great complement to the coconut (unsweetened). They don't keep but that was expected. I would definitely make again.

    I substituted lingonberry jam, which went well with the coconut and gave the macaroons a pretty pink color. I made 1/2 recipe; my scoop yielded 12 cookies. Note that there is an error in the portioning - both regular and large versions call for a #16 (1/4 cup) scoop. I would stick with a small scoop, as these are quite chewy when made with unsweetened coconut. Also, they don't keep well, getting soft and sticky after a few hours. But they were good.
