Hi John 👋 I made ur coconut macaroons exactly 💯 As u did. And measurements But it was horrible They opened up as they baked I was crying 😢 350*,middle rack in oven, Do u have any idea why???
The delivery on "I'm not really into a big bottom [brief, barely noticeable pause] on cookies" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in your videos.
Look Chef John.. this is getting ridiculous. Your recipes are so legit that I have been forced to cook my own food, successfully, and actually enjoy it lately. Now, I dunno what your game is... but I'm watchin' you, sir O_o
In Brazil we call the not-baked version of this treat "beijinhos" ("little kisses"). It is a common birthday party treat, and we usually present it with a clover stuck in it's middle. It never ocurred to me that you could actually bake this thingie. Nice.
A belated Happy Birthday to my all time FAVE "Celebrity Chef" *CRUSH* ... *: )* I absolutely LOVE your videos & trying out your good old reliable (always delicious) recipes...I've always enjoyed cooking so much & find it a great creative outlet...(except during my college days when all I had was a lukewarm "hotplate" & one dull knife)...HaHaHa...Now it's off to fetch some coconut~unsweetened... *: )*
Chef John, you're my goddamn culinary hero, and your videos are clever and entertaining! Sincerely, a half-century-old dude in northern Michigan who finally has a proper kitchen and is learning how to cook/eat well.
These look amazing! And thank you for the visual of knocking over a plate of these at the park with a frisbee, then picking them up and putting them back on the table. very fun scene. By the way, you are great at teaching cooking. Thank you!
What about a compromise? How about 1/3 sweetened and 2/3 unsweetened? Presumably that would give you the best of both worlds, looks a bit nicer and adds a bit more sweetness without turning it into coconut flavored sugar.
That's what occurred to me the moment I saw the bowl of plain coconut, and will be the version I try first. The sugared coconut outer layer should also help with browning, adding to the surface structure, making the chocolate dipping step a little easer once the macaroon has cooled.
Aaaahhhh I love that smooth bottom surface. So nice to look at. I'll give these a go although I think I'll try out white chocolate instead, to go for a Raffaello - type cookie. Thanks for the video! As always
Weirding me out. Was wanting something coconutty and made a bar cookie that's similar to this. JUST took them out of the oven and this video pops up. I'm closing my blinds.
PinkeeLee - lol....dying laughing! And of course, you made me look to see if there really WAS a pizza video uploaded. And now I think you are also in my attic, because the pizza I made was indeed margherita. Maybe Russian bots are infiltrating my mind.
OMG! I was just thinking about you, Chef John! I was thinking... "Man, I haven't seen him post lately. Hope he's okay and POOF! Here you are!" Thanks for the great recipe!
That reference to Haystacks Calhoun was a blast from the past. I remember seeing him at the old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto back in the 70s. On the bill with Crybaby Cannon, Bobo Brazil, etc. Very entertaining, as was the audience!
Hi hi I love yr recipes and also your sense of humour makes yr recipes even more delicious. I love yr delivery of yr comedy along with yr sumptous recipes. Keep on cooking my friend we need yr sense of humour even in food to help us in this crazy world we live in. Thanks all d way from my islands of Trinidad and Tobago in d Caribbean Chef John please visit our beautiful island of sand sea and sea shells(big bottoms too 😅😆) Thanks again for making us smile love it. God blesz
Chef, have you heard of "bacalao al pil pil"? It's a spanish recipe made with salted cod. It's simple in the sense that you just need 4 ingredients: salted cod, garlic, olive oil (it's better use a mild one though, so not virgin, or maybe a mix) and a dried cayenne pepper (whole), but getting the sauce (pil pil) right is a bit tricky, because it's an emulsion made with the gelatine and water in the cod and the olive oil. The best parts of the cod to get it right are the belly and a piece of meat under the chin of the cod we call cococha. In my opinion this is the the best you can do with a piece of salted cod, I think you should really give it a try if you haven't, it's really something special. Anyway, I discovered your channel recently and I'm hooked, keep the great work. Greetings from Spain
These are my go to when my son and his partner come to tea. As she requires a Gluten Free option. And these fit the bill totally. The rest of the family love them too😊
I haven't seen such delectable mounds of coconut joy since Ginger and Mary Ann were ma(ca)rooned on that island. But...I am shocked there was no dark chocolate commandments to "swirla-swirla" followed by the ever classy "shake-a-shake-a." Despite how scrumptious and easy these look, my life is temporarily frought with confusion because of this oversight. And 16 people disliked this video? Those people, not roasted almonds, are the nuts who should be placed in the center of these joyful beauties that are next on my "to bake" list.
Solid recipe, chef!!! I've made about 15,000 or so coconut macaroons this year alone (part of my job) so here's a few more modifications for y'all to try: -Add some lemon zest and change out the almond extract for orange extract for a citrusy-coconut flavor -Add chocolate chips instead of dipping in chocolate for an interesting visual and texture or if you are just too lazy to melt chocolate -Add finely chopped dehydrated pineapple (like what +FireCracker3240 was suggesting) -If you're feeling especially ambitious: dehydrate strawberries, freeze them and then process to a powder in a food processor. Add powdered strawberry to your mix to make pink strawberry coconut macaroons (this powder can also be used in icings and anywhere you'd want strawberry flavor without the added moisture) -Make these for Easter and drizzle them with different pastel-colored candy coatings for a different take on Easter eggs -Add a lot of cayenne and give them to the people you really love -Seriously try adding the almonds to these! I like to mix in thinly sliced almonds sometimes, too. The thing I love about coconut macaroons is, like chef said, how tough they are. You could build a house out of these babies (if you love having ants). As long as your mix still holds its shape, it -should- bake up into a fine macaroon regardless of what weird experiments you try ;)
Try it, but pineapple is pretty wet. I would let it sit out in a strainer after you chopped it into the size chunks you want and let it drain and dry out a bit before making the rest of the recipe.
For some reason this is the first of your videos that has showed up in my subscriptions for quite a while. UA-cam knew I would watch this video because it has chocolate. I never miss a video with chocolate! These look delicious!
Oh man! Macaroons are my favorite. Reminds me of my college days when I would grab a cup of coffee and a macaroon in between classes. Going to make these once the weather cools down. Like, maybe December.
Those look awesome. I'd definitely be sneaking almonds in there in some form or another... slivered, toasted almonds mixed in would be great. Maybe even some broken up macadamia nuts if I really wanted to cut loose 🤔. Yum!
Those look easy enough to make. I might change the sweetened condensed milk for evaporated milk and get the sweetened coconut instead. I would also make a nice creamy ganache for the bottoms. My father would more than likely LOVE these things. I don't have a silt pad, would parchment paper be alright? Or insulated cookie sheets?
Funny that you prefer them during the summer - in Austria/Germany they are a classic Christmas treat (although usually undipped) - "Kokosbusserl" (which translates to "coconut kiss").
Your videos are just perfect. Everything I need to know as quick as it should be and narrated by a smartass. I mean funny man. Signed, Haystacks Calhoun. Obvious advice, 😁😁 Mrs Good Cookies instructions originally read step 3 place cookies on cookie sheet step 4 OPEN OVEN DOOR 5 place in oven. My grandmother's bridge club wrote the company a letter. Typical of a bunch of drunk retired school teachers.
I need to know what kind of chocolate you used. I don’t want the chocolate to start melting as soon as I touch one . Like fat bombs do when they have coconut oil in the chocolate
Made these yesterday and my husband feel in love with them! I added coconut rum to the coconut and almond and kahlua to the chocolate! Really easy to make.
My mom makes a similar type of cookie during the Christmas holiday season, except she doesn't put any chocolate on it (I don't think she uses almond extract either, but she does use the vanilla extract). It's delicious :d
When I was a kid, there was a chocolate macaroon bundt cake mix. I loved it. I wish it still existed. That is my food wish. Or perhaps a very close facsimile.
I just discovered your channel, a couple of weeks ago, and I need to say that I LOVE IT. I love cooking and I love youtube cooking channels, but yours is just so light and funny and cozy. I watch a bunch of videos when I feel sad, it brightens my day every time. So thank you very much for sharing all those tips and little moments wih us.
Have you tried making these with whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks first? I want to make these but I'm wondering if you prefer it this way specifically! :)
Question: if i replace sugar for the milk, do i need to melt the sugar or do i add another type of liquid to get the consistency that allow everything to come together? Thanks in advance.
Hey Chef John! The link isn't working for the recipe, just a heads up! Hope its working soon, I have got to make these for my lady :) Thanks for another amazing video!
OM...J! My all time favorite candy bar is an almond ( with allot of) joy :-)! I'm going to use the sweetened coconut in the macaroon and then roll them in the unsweetened since the flakes are smaller. Might even get a little wild & crazy and dip them half way!! Gotta go now cause my sweet tooth is calling me!
Is the bowl of coconut for dipping in addition to the 3 cups coconut that we mix in the mixing bowl? It's not that we only mix in say 2 1/2 cups coconut and save 1/2 cup for dipping, right?

Hi John 👋
I made ur coconut macaroons exactly 💯
As u did.
And measurements
But it was horrible
They opened up as they baked I was crying 😢
350*,middle rack in oven,
Do u have any idea why???
he wasn’t honest with everyone about his recipe!!!! that’s why the macarons you made didn’t come out like his…..
The delivery on "I'm not really into a big bottom [brief, barely noticeable pause] on cookies" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in your videos.
Can you put a timestamp? I can't find it...maybe I'm too tired :(
Benjamin Burch 340
3:33.
I heard I too and snickered!
Chef John was having too much fun with this video. 🍑😁
Look Chef John.. this is getting ridiculous. Your recipes are so legit that I have been forced to cook my own food, successfully, and actually enjoy it lately. Now, I dunno what your game is... but I'm watchin' you, sir O_o
Welcome back Chef John hope you had a wonderful vacation🤗🤗..also would definitely be making these this weekend
Cherise Isabella it's an impostor. I was almost fooled until I noticed the absence of cayenne.
jiv32 😂😂 you do have a point
How is it you have the best recipes on the tube for everything....👍
you can easily make a heck-ton of these as a christmas gift and call them "coconut snowballs" and everyone will love you
J Sal Brilliant!!!!!!
i'll stick with schwetty balls for the holidays.
Awww. Sad. 😞
In Australia our "snowballs" are chocolate coated marshmallows covered in shredded coconut
J Sal It would look better with white chocolate but yeah I get your vibe.
You never disappoint- then you got humor to boot. Dinner & a show.
In Brazil we call the not-baked version of this treat "beijinhos" ("little kisses"). It is a common birthday party treat, and we usually present it with a clover stuck in it's middle.
It never ocurred to me that you could actually bake this thingie. Nice.
"I'm not really into a big bottom... on cookies." 😂😂😂😂😂

Chef John is blushing.
CY...Me, too... *: )*
Love your sense of humor Chef John! Your cooking is not so bad either! Hope you had a great birthday celebration and a relaxing vacation!😎
I llllloooovveee provocative Macaroons with dipped bottoms! Chef knows how to please......a crowd 💕
..."as I like to re-fur to it"....ha.. these look great...I bet I can fit them into my regimen.....
Saving this recipe for my Christmas cookie boxes!
I seem to recall my mom loving almondy candies bringing her joy I shall have to make these for her!
A Haystacks Calhoun reference. Classically genius. Very nice.
Me ha encantado!!!!!! Muchos saludos
Amé su video, amo ese tipo de galletas de coco.
Chef John, your videos are the very few things keeping me going
Chef John, you're my goddamn culinary hero, and your videos are clever and entertaining! Sincerely, a half-century-old dude in northern Michigan who finally has a proper kitchen and is learning how to cook/eat well.
These look amazing! And thank you for the visual of knocking over a plate of these at the park with a frisbee, then picking them up and putting them back on the table. very fun scene.
By the way, you are great at teaching cooking. Thank you!
just wanted you to know, chef john, your videos always bring me great joy! My taste buds thank you especially!
I have enjoyed your cooking videos and sense of humor for a decade now. Thank you so much for continuing to share recipes and provide laughs!
I am going to make these as Christmas gifts for friends. Truly awesome.
What about a compromise? How about 1/3 sweetened and 2/3 unsweetened? Presumably that would give you the best of both worlds, looks a bit nicer and adds a bit more sweetness without turning it into coconut flavored sugar.
I like how you think.
Food Wishes how about just rolling in the sweetened coconut for a more textured outer layer?
Good idea.
Yes
That's what occurred to me the moment I saw the bowl of plain coconut, and will be the version I try first. The sugared coconut outer layer should also help with browning, adding to the surface structure, making the chocolate dipping step a little easer once the macaroon has cooled.
Aaaahhhh I love that smooth bottom surface. So nice to look at. I'll give these a go although I think I'll try out white chocolate instead, to go for a Raffaello - type cookie. Thanks for the video! As always
Chef John you are a legend. Made these and they are so easy to make and so delicious! Thank you!
I literally buy a box of coconut macaroons once a week, I’m totally going to make these! Chef John you’ve done it again
I always drop what I’m doin for you, chef John
OMG i love these cookies. i never even toyed with the idea of making these myself, but no flour no mess! Thanks chef john. also my fave candy bar.
Weirding me out. Was wanting something coconutty and made a bar cookie that's similar to this. JUST took them out of the oven and this video pops up. I'm closing my blinds.
pssst. he's in your attic.
PinkeeLee - ewwww! My attic access is in my bedroom closet. Not gonna sleep tonight. If he posts a pizza video later, I'm moving.
how did you sleep? by the way, check out his margarita pizza recipe just uploaded.
PinkeeLee - lol....dying laughing! And of course, you made me look to see if there really WAS a pizza video uploaded. And now I think you are also in my attic, because the pizza I made was indeed margherita. Maybe Russian bots are infiltrating my mind.
i know nothink.
I made these macaroons. I used the unsweetened coconut. Easy to make. They were a hit! Thank you for the recipe.
OMG! I was just thinking about you, Chef John! I was thinking... "Man, I haven't seen him post lately. Hope he's okay and POOF! Here you are!" Thanks for the great recipe!
These look so amazing yet so simple 😍❤️❤️❤️will definitely try your recipe ☺️💕💕thanks for sharing

This is our recipe, too. Well, nearly. We also add a tablespoon of cake flour. Sometimes a half teaspoon of almond extract, too. Looks yummy!

But...I am shocked there was no dark chocolate commandments to "swirla-swirla" followed by the ever classy "shake-a-shake-a."

Oh childhood memories! We have those in Sweden too :) Havn't had any in 20+ years though. Writes on my list....

Gilgamesh...
WOW! Great suggestions! I will be incorporating a few of your ideas into my candies.
I love your videos! I have only cooked the sweet potato black bean chili, but I watch most of them.. I need to try some more of these recipes.
I wonder if you can add finely chopped pineapple bits to the coconut mixture for a Pina Colada feel...
Try it, but pineapple is pretty wet. I would let it sit out in a strainer after you chopped it into the size chunks you want and let it drain and dry out a bit before making the rest of the recipe.
SpiritBear12 Good advice, I think I'll try that. Thanks for the reply!
Or get dried pineapple in pack from store
No,you cannot do that. Chef said so...
FireCracker3240 You might consider just buying a can of pineapple and using the syrup from the jar in place of the sugar/condensed milk.
awesome!!
try it with a Dulce de leche center, like they do in uruguay...
For some reason this is the first of your videos that has showed up in my subscriptions for quite a while. UA-cam knew I would watch this video because it has chocolate. I never miss a video with chocolate! These look delicious!
You have to have some kind of bell icon checked to get the notification, I think. I'm never sure. ;)
That's a good idea! At least they send me your chocolate videos!
I would cover half in chocolate ;) Mmmmm
Welcome back Chef John. I hope you enjoyed your holiday. They look good I will be making these tonight
Lovely recipe, thanks chef john.
Such a neat presentation...thank you.
Yummy! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and tutorials. Superbly done. 👍😙
These are one of my favorite I make them all the time 🙌🏼
Sound good! My first thought was to add some chopped almonds to a few of these when I make them.
I definitely want to try to make those I love chocolate and coconut together
Thanks for posting this, i always wondered how to make these.
those macaroons turned out perfect, however i would personally drizzle chocolate on top as well. love your channel man!!
Yummmm, my favorite by far chef thanks for sharing
I'm going to make some next week. Thank you for making it so fun.
I absolutely love these cookies
Oh man! Macaroons are my favorite. Reminds me of my college days when I would grab a cup of coffee and a macaroon in between classes. Going to make these once the weather cools down. Like, maybe December.
u way of talking made me tried it & it was heaven , thanks for sharing
Those look awesome. I'd definitely be sneaking almonds in there in some form or another... slivered, toasted almonds mixed in would be great. Maybe even some broken up macadamia nuts if I really wanted to cut loose 🤔. Yum!
Will be making for the holidays! Thanks!

They look beautiful!!!! I must try this!
WOW... LOVE THE COCONUT FLAVORS
Love the almond idea!
My goodness its not even on the website yet Chef John!!! I need it!!! Lol. Waiting patiently...
Funny that you prefer them during the summer - in Austria/Germany they are a classic Christmas treat (although usually undipped) - "Kokosbusserl" (which translates to "coconut kiss").
Yesssssss! Been looking for a recipe just like this. Thank you!
Love this recipe! Thanks, chef. Thoroughly enjoyed your video, "as always..."

One of my favorite desserts. I’m gonna have to try this but I’m going to substitute the spatula for a freakishly small wooden spoon.
What brand of unsweetened coconut flakes do you use and how much ?
"That's a decision you're gonna have to 'wrestle' with." 🤣😜🤣 I'm dying!!!

Not into a big bottom.....
On cookies.
amauth
IKR 😂
Loved the Haystacks Calhoun reference, and cracked up when you said "it's something you'll have to wrestle with."
I LOVE you, Chef! Thank you!
Question: if i replace sugar for the milk, do i need to melt the sugar or do i add another type of liquid to get the consistency that allow everything to come together? Thanks in advance.

Just divine! I am drooling❤️
A little bit of cayenne in the chocolate is also really good, adding a nice moderate heat to the macaroons.
I knew you’d have a macaroon recipe. Thanks so much.
I hate coconut, but I'm gonna like the video anyway. This really speaks to my appreciation of Chef John.
Is there any chance that you could make your own chocolate bars?
TheEthanator53
Hmm. What will appear on the top of the list if you search 'food wishes chocolate bar'?
I'm not seeing the blog post, can you share details on the chocolate you used? Is it just melted chips?
I'm going to give these a try soon, like right now. I'm off to the store!
Like 100 coments within 15 minutes of posting the video.
Thats a UA-cam star right there!
I normally hate sweetened coconut treats, but I'll have to try this one since it doesn't sound so sickly sweet!
Absolutely love your recipe and your delivery of said recipe...lol😂😂
Haystack Calhoun, Hank Renners big time wrestling. Rocky Johnson, (the Rocks dad,) Ray Stevens, WOW! Not many will get that reference. Lol
I did right away!
D2K Prime Then u must be from the sf Bay Area?
Haystacks Calhoun was on wrestling in New England too. I guess he got around.
David Clabault Oh I didn’t know that, I thought it was a local Bay Area thing. Do u remember “Man Mountain Mike”? He was another GIANT man. 👍
It's really old school. Most people these days know wrestling from the 80s but in the 50s and 60s Haystacks was one of the biggest draws.
