I don’t have turbinado sugar on hand but I have cane sugar, dark brown sugar, and demerara sugar. Which would be best here as a sub? Thanks!

In reply to Rhonda. I haven't tried it, but I would assume so!

Do you know if these freeze well? I love macaroons and plan on trying your recipe.

I made these using my organic, unsweetened coconut flakes. I put them in the food processor and ground them quite a bit to get them almost to the consistency of shredded coconut, but not too fine. They turned out beautiful and delicious!! I used 3/4 c of the sugar and 2T real maple syrup.

In reply to Carol. Hi Carol! I'm not entirely sure if flakes will work. I would definitely throw them in the food processor beforehand, and then measure them after chopping. Please let me know how it turns out if you give it a try!

We only have coconut flakes on hand and want to avoid going to the store. Can I use unsweetened coconut flakes in this recipe? Should I try to chop them or throw them into my food processor for a bit?

In reply to Lara. I haven't tried it. Turbinado is a larger grain sugar so you will likely get a different result. Let me know if you do try it and your results.

Hi Kate,
Can I use coconut sugar instead of Turbinado?

In reply to Kate.

Tried them again for a Chanukah party, this time using the turbinado sugar and they came out great! Somehow because of the larger granule size and less processing, they’re not as sweet! My daughter’s
beau who isn’t crazy about coconut, loved these! Thank you Kate. Your recipes are always an inspiration.
