One word: Macaroons. These things are so delicious! I don't make them as often as I would like, because the hubby doesn't like coconut, and let's be honest, I don't need to eat a whole batch to myself all that often:). They are so easy to make, and taste so good! Here is my mom's recipe:
-2 cups of sugar (I reduce this to about 1.25 cups)
-6 tablespoons cocoa
-1/2 cup butter
-1/2 cup milk
-1/2 tsp vanilla
-1 cup of shredded coconut
-3 cups of rolled oats (that makes it healthy right?)
Combine sugar, cocoa, butter and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add vanilla. Remove from heat, stir in coconut and rolled oats. Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper and chill for at least one hour. ENJOY!
