Coconut Macaroons

February 25, 2012

My mom loves coconut macaroons and so do I. Sometimes when we’d go shopping she’d get me and her a treat, I’m the youngest so I was the one who went grocery shopping with her the longest. I had to endure long guilt trips if I tried to tell her I didn’t want to go. Sometimes it’s just easier to give in.

Recently, one afternoon I had the sweet tooth hit. I needed something to sooth it. I didn’t really want something unhealthy so I opted for some of these. Reminiscing the long grocery shopping trips.

So I started off with, of course, coconut. Guess I don’t cook with coconut enough because my girls asked me what it was. I promptly gave them a little bowl and had them eat it raw. They liked it!

Next a little whole wheat flour.

A little milk. I loved that there were bubbles that didn’t pop.

Some honey. The original recipe called for Agave but I only had honey, we have a honey store a mile away where the honey is fresh and wonderful. We stay stocked up on honey. The girls love to go to the store, they buzz all day after we go. I like supporting a local company and I like having fresh honey.
