Coconut Macaroons
Coconut macaroons are a favorite in our household, actually anything that has coconut in it. I made these as an Easter treat for my husband because he had given up dessert for Lent and these are truly his favorite. It also helped to have my official taste tester available for service! He was such a great taste tester, I ended up having to make 6 dozen cookies for my cookie monster =)
The cookies set up nicely on the tray (see above) but if they are at all watery just refrigerate the batter for about ten minutes. This is a simple recipe, very few ingredients and absolutely yummy! Be prepared, they won’t be in your house for very long!
