Coconut Macaroons

Beautiful flakes of coconut and four other ingredients is all you need to make these incredible cookies! They are sweet, with a soft, tender center and crispy on the outside. Making a yummy dessert has never been easier!

Coconut macaroons made with sugar, flour, vanilla and egg white are cookies that are so easy to make and your family will love. 

Yesterday, I was called on the carpet regarding desserts!  Over the past few weeks, I’ve made several sweets for my family and a few for friends.  There have been requests to make more chocolate pie and brownies then it happened…my one, very special one who does not like chocolate just told it.  “Mom, I’ve been patient and quiet about this but I just have to speak out about all these chocolate things you’ve been making, ’cause it’s not working for me.”  He was very nice and calm in his reprimand, so I apologized, gave him a hug and let him know that I’d have something for him when he got home from school today.

Coconut macaroons made with sugar, flour, vanilla and egg white are cookies that are so easy to make and your family will love.

 

I decided on one of his favorite cookies, coconut macaroons.  They are so stinking easy that you can make several dozen in no time flat and only have 5 ingredients!  Moist and chewy with a little crunch on the outside, these cookies are just simple and delicious.  Thank goodness because now I’m out of trouble.
