Coconut Macaroons can be made either with egg whites or without egg whites. I’ve made my Macaroons without egg whites for years so this is my traditional approach if you don’t want to bother with whipping egg whites. I had mixed results with Macaroons with egg whites when I made them with this year which is why I am presenting this as an alternative.
