  1. I love these macaroons! They do work best with mini M&Ms, but I've also used the regular sized. I plan to make these for halloween with sundrops instead of M&Ms.
     
  2. Made these for Christmas with green/red M&M's, didn't use mini's, as I couldn't find them in the green and red. Be sure that they have browned a little when baking, my first batch wasn't brown and they didn't 'set' right. Makes a large amount; they keep well in the freezer. One of my hubbie's favorites this year!
     
  3. This is a great recipe! I used a 10 oz bag of organic coconut and eyeballed the rest with shredded coconut so mine were a bit more chunky. :) Thanks for posting!
     
  4. Mmmm, my son and I couldn't stay out of these so off to the freezer they went! I don't think mine looked as pretty as Gayla's photo but they tasted fine. I made them quite small as I want to add them to small 'samplers' to give to my colleagues. They will really brighten up the little plates. Thanks so much for posting your recipe. I will let you know how they held up with freezing.
     
  5. Wow! I'll definitely be adding these to my Christmas goodie trays this year!! So, very easy to make & so tasty - rich & creamy. I couldn't find mini M&M baking bits so I just used regular sized M&M candy (without peanuts) & they worked fine. It's very easy to tell when the cookies are done - they look wet while cooking but once they are done, it is obvious as they look dry. It was a little bit tricky getting the cookies off the baking sheet but by taking my time, the cookies stayed intact.
