Only 2 more sleeps until Christmas!
I decided I wasn't going to let this flu bug get the best of me.
I got up, and baked. Because, baking is my zen place. Makes me calm and serene.
I pinned this recipe ages ago, and it looked VERY easy.
I've always loved coconut macaroons, but I've never made them before.
I don't know why.
They were beyond easy and beyond delicious.
I got the recipe from Taste of Home:
- 1-1/3 cups flaked coconut
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
I doubled the recipe and got 2 dozen.
I was going to dip them in chocolate and almonds, but once Drew tasted one he wouldn't let me change them. haha
They are chewy, sweet and incredibly delicious.
I still can't get over how easy they were to make.
Tis the season to indulge.
Happy Christmas babies!
XOXO
My all time favorite cookie in the whole world!!! And this recipe looks super easy. I usualy make mine with evaporated milk - it gives them a bit of creaminess.
ReplyHmm.....wonder if I have the ingredients in the pantry?
The certainly look beautiful Miss "wah-wah, my photos don't look as awesome as I'd like". Great work!
