Coconut Macaroons

My family loves coconut. I, on the other hand, am not much of a fan. But since my entire family is gathering at my house for this New Year's Eve, I knew I had to make something that was so good they would devour whole. That's when I decided to makes these cute coconut macaroons. And they're so simple to make that I didn't need to hog the kitchen.

Peppermint Patty Surprise

I was a little disappointed I didn't get to do as much baking as I wanted for this year's Christmas festivities. Sometimes it's not so much about having enough time to bake, but not having enough people to share the goodies with! I've been eying this recipe from Rachel Ray's EveryDay magazine for the longest time and have been dying to get a chance to whip these out of the oven. So when my long-time-no-see high school friends called me up to hang out with them today, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make these pepperminty bundles. These cookies are sure to satisfy my Christmas cravings until the next year!
