Cocoanut Macaroons

The meringue mixture must be used immediately after mixing, as it will deflate if left to sit. However, baked macaroons can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Store baked macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Do not refrigerate, as humidity will make them soggy and cause them to lose their crisp exterior. If they soften, re-crisp in a 200°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
