Easy Coconut Macaroon Cookie Recipe
Coconut Macaroons are one of my all time favorite cookies that I thought was complicated but is so easy. You will not believe how perfect they come out of the oven, chewy on the inside, and toasted on the outside. You can bake them less for a lighter color or darker for a more crunchy texture.
Coconut Macaroons are a cookie I remember our family serving on special occasions when I was younger. I just never thought of it as an everyday cookie. I am so glad I got over my hesitation thanks to a lot of bloggers who wrote about how simple they are to make.
They are mixed together quickly and do not take any fuss. The basic recipe is low carb and gluten free. I have to thank Iheartnaptime.com for the basic recipe that I used to make my own.

If you are like my family and love anything coconut you will love making these cookies as they are quick to mix together. I like the plain and the chocolate dipped. I am going to try a chocolate drizzle to get a hint of chocolate but not coated on the bottom.
Looks very tasty–pinning for later. Thanks for sharing at Party in Your PJs!
