Happy Mother's Day & Coconut Macaroons!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mama's out there! & Happy Macaroon Day! Yes I know it's not National Coconut Macaroon Day, I just needed an excuse to bake them so I can eat them! haha 

These Coconut Macaroons are super tasty and easy to make. I just used the recipe that's on Baker's Angel Flake Coconut. It's right on the back of the bag. Really quick and easy, all you need is a few simple ingredient's to bake up these deliciously, moist babies. I used a medium size cookie scoop (1 1/2 Tbsp) and 1 5/8 Mini Baking Cups. Don't they look cute?

 I'm super happy to be spending this Mother's Day with my one and only Mama Bear, Love you! I know my Mom will love these, cause she just loves coconut as much as me!
