Coconut Macaroons

So, feeling somewhere between Martha and Bob Vila today, I opted to let the girls win...go Martha! So, cookies were on my mind, but just no regular old cookie. We are talking award winning Coconut Macaroons!!

This recipe is TOTALLY one of my all time faves. The recipe came to me via an online cooking board. I have been a member of this board for over 6 years, and decided to host an online cookie competition. There were quite a few entries, 19 in total. I baked every one of the entries and hosted a taste test at my house, using my family and sisters as willing testers! This recipe came in second place, and in my opinion, will always be first!!!

So between drying coats of paint and hanging pictures, I whipped these up. They are extremely easy to throw together, but taste like you worked on them for hours!! So go grind some coffee beans, brew a fresh pot, and try these out. You will not be disappointed!
