Coconut Macaroons

[Chawton1810]

I've been looking for a recipe that is 'cakey', you know, like the store bought type. All the recipes I've found are made with egg whites and/or condensed milk; neither of which make for a 'cakey' cookie. Can anyone help?

Sorry... now that I've made the home-made version that is light and fluffy, I will never EVER eat those dense rock-like things again!

I don't like them much either but a close friend things they are great and that my egg white/condensed milk version was just 'ok'. So if I can find a recipe like that it would be great.
