  1. I love these so much! I found them last year on the Tollhouse website and everyone I made them for adored them and most asked for the recipe. We made them with Holiday Swirled Chocolate Chips, which came out really beautiful too. These are fabulous!
     
  2. Terrific 'twist' to the ever popular macaroon. I used semi-sweet mini chips. I had about 6 cups of coconut, so put it all in....with great results. These are not overly sweet, which is very nice, especially at this time of year. I used a tbsp measure to form the mounds, and ended up with 77 of the little darlings. Crispy on the outside while still tender and chewy inside. Try them warm from the oven. :) Thanks mydesigirl for a lovely addition to the cookie tray. Made for "Let's PARTY" Tag 2009
     
  3. made for bake sale. did'nt have parchment paper. will buy some before i make again. will be making again soon. loved these.
     
  4. Using my silpat made this completely easy to remove from the pan, my only issue is with the cookie holding together. Because I have a convection oven, I think I need to lower the temp and bake a little longer to make the cookies more cohesive. Other than that, they have a wonderful taste!
     
  5. I made this with the chocolate chips, but think I will omit them next time. The "dough" was pretty wet and I would not recommend using a spoon to push the dough down as it tends to stick to the spoon. My advice would be to put a small amount of butter or oil on your fingertips and form the cookies that way.
