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.

Crack the egg in the middle and gently pull it apart with an upturning and lifting motion over a small bowl to keep the yolk in one half of the eggshell. The white will pull away and slip into the small bowl. Gently pour the remnants of the egg back and forth between the two more or less equal half egg shells, being careful not to puncture the egg yolk.
