 ===== 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.
-  * This is the first time I've used unsweetened coconut in the recipe, and I really like it (not so sweet), but the mixture was a bit drier than usual (less sticky) and it made a LOT of cookies!! (Usually makes ~6 dozen; this time it made over 9 dozen!). If I use unsweetened coconut again (which I plan to), I would use 3 bags of coconut (21 oz.), the same amount of flour and salt, the same amount of sweetened condensed coconut milk, and probably the same amount of vegan caramel sauce but I'd do that by eye and see if it needs less. Basically you want the mixture to hold together pretty well when you scoop it out onto the cookie sheet.
+  * 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.
