I mentioned a while ago that I had started making macaroons for my husband so he wouldn’t need to buy any when he went through a drive-thru for a coffee. What I came up with isn’t the same as what he was buying, but he likes it – that’s what’s important, right?
I’ve tweaked the original recipe so that I could make them chocolate and add sweeteners instead of honey. This recipe is easy and comes together quickly. Using my ice cream scoop to shape the cookies I always get exactly thirteen. My oldest daughter believes that each batch needs quality control. She offers to eat the thirteenth to check that the batch is okay for her dad. Don’t you love a daughter who is so self-sacrificial?
I pack the dough down in and smooth it out around the edges. It slides out of the scoop easily.

Like the Snoopy plate – not wild myself about coconut and chocolate together but if Hugo likes them that is great that you can whip them up for him :).LOVE simple recipes – I now have a baker though to bake for me – Genevieve LOVES baking so I let her make the cookies around here 😉

We love coconut and chocolate. Elisabeth is turning into our baker. She’s getting so good at cookies, muffins, cupcakes, etc. It’s nice when I’m busy to turn that over to someone else.

Oh my word these look so good. I’ve actually never made mcaroons because I worried they were hard to make, but this doesn’t look too bad!
Thanks for sharing on the Shine Blog Hop!
