Coconut Macaroons
Macaroons are a small biscuit or a cookie which is made with ground almond or coconut and uses egg in the recipe. Coconut macaroons as the name say, it has coconut as the main ingredient. My recipe is an eggless version which is so simple to make and needs two basic ingredients to make this recipe. These are sweet, chewy on the inside with a delightfully crispy exterior. These macaroons can be made in no time if you have the ingredients in hand. These can be made for birthday parties, tea time evening snack or even for Diwali.Also check my other coconut recipes Coconut &Till biscuitCoconut rice
