To deal with sticky coconut macaroons, line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking, and lightly grease your tools with oil or non-stick spray when shaping the macaroons. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them, using a thin spatula to gently lift them off. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm it up. Ensure you're using the right type of coconut and the correct amount of condensed milk or egg whites, as too much liquid can cause excessive stickiness. For extra help, a light dusting of flour or coconut flour on your hands and tools can make handling easier. These tips should make managing sticky coconut macaroons much smoother. I hope this will help you
