Coconut Macaroons

I have been searching for a non-sweet version of Coconut Macaroons eversince I came back from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. All the recipes I found have condense milk and ton of sugar in it. Therefore, i stopped searching for a while and was going to give up the idea of ever making this snack altogether. Costco has it, but it way too sweet for me. Two weeks ago, I was surfing some food blogs and found a great recipe from Tanya. She made some conconut macaroons and brought them to a Thanksgiving party. I asked if they were super-sweet, and she said not at all. I tested the recipe out today and they were awesome! Thank you Tayna for making this possible.

Hi Vy, the coconut macaroons look very yummy! I have 1 question: "2/3 white chocolate morsels" is it 2/3 cup? Thanks Vy.

i love this recipe too, especially the smell of lime zest.

At the Thanksgiving party, i made these macaroons without white chocolates, i did the semi-sweet chocolate drizzle instead...they were even less sweet. Try it out next time :)
