Chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, coconutty all the way through, these are nothing like the oh-la-la pink, purple, or green macarons that replaced the cupcake for Hot Bakery Trend of 2008. Coconut macaroons are what cemented my coconut addiction many years ago, and this recipe is my updated version, developed through dozens of tests to perfect the texture, flavor, and appearance.
