Coconut Macaroons

If the world were to about to come to a tragic end, and the fate of the world rested on my having to choose one favorite cookie, I am sorry to say that it would be the coconut macaroon.


These are without a doubt my favorite cookie in the whole wide universe. I love them. But in the store they are pretty expensive...or at least more than I want to pay. This evening, in the midst of a sweet tooth fix, searching for the perfect brownie recipe, I stumbled across a recipe for coconut macaroons. There it was, plain as day and simple as pie. The rest is history. I feel as though my life is complete. Well, not really, but it's pretty darn close now!

Coconut Macaroons (From Taste of Home Cookbook)

1 1/3 Cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1/8 Tsp Salt
2 Egg Whites
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Combine coconut flakes, sugar, flour, and salt. Mix together then add egg whites and vanilla extract. Spoon onto baking sheet by tablespoon. Bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Yield: Enough for me..or about 1 dozen.

It can not get any easier than that. Now I am going to go and cancel my appointment with the psychologist. I don't need them now.

P.S. I don't really go to a psychologist...anymore...just in case you are wondering.
