These coconut macaroons are so easy! Any time I need a last-minute dessert, I turn to this recipe. (Well, if it’s truly last-minute, then I go to the grocery store, but you know what I mean.)
They’re very simple and quick, but so delicious that your fans won’t know that you just threw it all together. These are a great dessert for a picnic or an excellent little addition to a potluck or dessert spread. I love to make them at Christmas time as ‘snowballs,’ but the coconut is so fresh that they’re equally satisfying in the middle of summer. To get even more fancy, dip the bottom half of each cookie in melted chocolate after they are completely cool. Yummm.
My only warning with this recipe? Double or even triple it. This recipe only makes 10 or 12 small cookies.

Oh yum! I love coconut so I’ll definitely have to try!
Absolutely! They are much tastier and fancy-looking than the little amount of work would suggest, which I think is an excellent trait for any recipe. :)
These look so yummy! Too bad my husband is allergic to coconut :( Also, I am hosting a blog hop right now, I’d love for you to stop by and link up :)
