 ===== Notes =====
-  * I've used bittersweet chocolate chips before, but this year I used semisweet, because that was the kind I could get that were gluten-free, vegan and tree nut and peanut free. Either kind of chips works fine.
+  * Any kind of chocolate chips work fine.
   * I have added 1 1/4 c. chopped pecans to this recipe, but they are optional. I left them out for the ale so that these could be tree nut free.
+  * I now make this recipe with unsweetened coconut: [[https://karinhowe.com/recipes/vegan_salted_caramel_macaroons2|Vegan Salted Caramel Macaroons (Unsweetened Coconut Version)]]. The unsweetened coconut works *very* differently, so this page exists for historical purposes, and in case someone prefers to make these cookies with sweetened coconut.
+  * Baking note to self: Use small cookie scoop, pressing the scoop hard against the side of the bowl to compress the mixture. 12 cookies per sheet; cookies do not spread. Press the mixture together on the cookie sheet if needed.
