Coconut Macaroons

Submitted by ~*Miss Diggy*~

"These are some yummy cookies that my mom was able to get the recipe for from a cafeteria in Provo Utah. We were there for a wedding of a family member, and went to go get some cookies, and these were one of them. These are the best macaroons I have ever had, and you honestly can get a tummy ache if you eat too many. They are rich and satisfying, and wonderful with a cold tall glass of milk. You can also add a tsp of almond extract, if you like."

The best cookie from a mix I've had. Not much for almonds so put candied cherries on. Thanks for sharing.

These are the very best coconut macaroons ever. My family literally attacked them and a double batch was gone in days. I now have to make another double batch. That are just outstanding. Thank you and Happy Holidays
