Coconut Macaroons

Coconut Macaroons are so fast and so easy to make.
And they're really good dipped in some chocolate.

Typically I don't care for almond extract, but there are two or three recipes in my collection in which I will use it.
And in those situations I think it's the right choice.


I've also made these macaroons with both varieties of coconut....the sweetened and the unsweetened.

We prefer the unsweetened variety...it seems to let all the flavors come through better and yet there is still enough sugar to satisfy my sweet tooth.
