Baking has always been incredibly calming to me and I have been known to bake in large quantities when stressed. Perhaps work has been a little crazy recently or maybe I needed an excuse to bring more sweets into our house after my self-imposed 40 day hiatus; whatever the reason, I tried my hand at this recipe. Thanks to my KitchenAid Mixer, it was an incredibly easy recipe to replicate. How on earth did I live without it before?!
[Coconut before and after all of the ingredients have been added]
I truly think that coconuts are one of the most under-appreciated fruit. There isn't anything that contains coconut that I don't like. They add great texture to food and have a fantastic flavor. Not to mention they remind me of the tropics and who doesn't want to be reminded of some wonderful beach somewhere?
[Ready to go into the oven and fresh out of the oven]
[Chocolate for dipping]
[Finished Product]
The end results were as yummy as they were beautiful. They got the request for second from Hubs, which means they passed our household test. These macaroons would be a great item to make for a get together with friends or a new neighbor to welcome them to the neighborhood.
Everyone needs a kitchen helper. I had my very own Coco-nut waiting for me to drop some yummy goodness for her. For you dog owners, coconut macaroons have been known to help with digestive disorders in dogs. Disclaimer: Don't feed your dogs chocolate macaroons and please check with your vet before you start on any sort of therapy for your dog.
