I’ve always loved coconut macaroons. I remember my aunt making these when I was a child. Just one bite and I was hooked. Growing up, I would always buy macaroons from bakeries and my personal fave is from Goldilocks in the Philippines.
Things changed when I had a chat with Mommy Abi of Cuddles and Crumbs. She makes delicious coconut macaroons! I thought to myself, why haven’t I done macaroons before?? Oh yeah, I wasn’t sure what to use! She told me that she uses store bought dried (desiccated) coconut. The ones found in any hypermarket. For some reason, I stayed away from those bags. I really thought that those are for …uhm … “cooking” (not baking!) Anyway, I made some coconut macaroons during Christmas using Abi’s recipe. It was an instant hit in our household!
I gave them away to friends and relatives during the holidays. And because its my favorite, I made lots of it so there’s more for me! Here’s the recipe:

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
