These macaroons are so simple but taste complex. They have evolved from being a staple at our annual Christmas party to the "go-to" treat for whenever we have company, are watching football games, or just want to indulge. If I didn't make macaroons, everyone would be disappointed. When friends can't make our parties or get-togethers, they write they will miss the macaroons, not us!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Made with minimal ingredients, these coconut macaroons get slightly crispy and golden brown outside. The inside is sweet, sticky, and chewy. A delicious dessert if you're looking for a gluten-free or egg-free option. They'll satisfy all the coconut lovers in your life taste buds.
