A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Polka Dot Macaroons

Polka Dot Macaroons -- A Pinch of Joy

Polka Dot Macaroons are quick and easy to make, a coconut lover’s dream! The mini candies are just the perfect size. However, I think it would be fun to use the red and green regular sized M&Ms for a festive Christmas cookie. I made a couple of attempts toward that. I actually bought the Christmas colors. And not once, but twice, they completely vanished before I got the cookies made. And it was my fault. Because I opened the package. Since when is that carte blanche for kitchen passersby to abscond with the goods and eat the whole thing????   Oh – back to the recipe. Make. Bake. Eat. 🙂  It’s that easy!

    Those M&M’s don’t last at my house either! I love coconut, I am pinning this to my coconut PInterest board (yes, I have one)! These sound yummy!

      Checked out the coconut board — nice! — and then got lost in the other 184 boards! Great collection — especially all the party ideas!
