Notes
- A separate, distinct Coconut Macaroons recipe appears on p. 133 (higher heat, includes flour, baked until browned) — kept as its own file: see
coconut-macaroons.md. This p.134 version is a meringue-style macaroon meant to stay pale. - Exact sugar quantity on the card was not fully legible; worth confirming against the physical card.
