Not much goes as well together as coconut and almonds. These light and airy concoctions are no exception. These delicate cookies should be made right before eating as storing them is harder than some other tougher cookies. However, the flavor is so delicious that they will disappear in no time. They are so easy to put together as well, and you will know it’s all worth it when you see the pleasure that comes across your family’s face as they take a bite.
Ingredients
Note: Most cookies may be baked on a lightly greased baking sheet; however, delicate cookies such as these macaroons (not to be confused with the one-oh-one cookie), tend to break or crumble when you try to move them. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you use parchment paper or a baking mat to line the baking sheet. Keep in mind that a single sheet of parchment can be used multiple times during a baking session.
