Coconut Macaroons

I love macaroons when they are sweet and moist. They just have to be moist!

This is an extremely easy macaroon recipe and nice and moist.

Just 4 ingredients, plus the proverbial cherry on top if you choose.

This a great recipe for those who are wheat intolerant, because there is no flour in the recipe (do check the ingredients on the condensed milk can though if you have an allergy. It should be gluten free).

These lovely coconut cookies come out moist and delicious each and every time.

I love Eagle brand recipes. They are so reliable and always easy.

This is an easy cookie recipe for the holidays. Everyone loves them and they are wonderful as part of a holiday dessert mix. Or make a double batch and use them as part of a cookie exchange.
