COCONUT MACAROONS

I got the recipe of these coconut macaroons from the back of the coconut flakes package. I’ve been craving it for sometime now but just haven’t had the time until a few nights ago. I’m especially loving my new Kitchen Aid for making all the baking fun and and delicious.

It was my first time making coconut macaroons so of course my first batch was burnt at the bottom. So the top was sweet, the bottom on the other hand was bitter. Still good but yah know, I made sure the rest of the batches were perfect .
