Coconut macaroons have become one of my favorite go-to cookie recipes because they are so simple to make and I can successfully make egg-free and nut-free cookies for my friends that canβt tolerate them. Ironically, the reason I came up with this recipe was from a dream! Apparently I dream about recipes and I donβt really know how I feel about that! Hah!
I had a dream I took my original macaroon recipe and blended strawberry instead of using the applesauce. I woke the next morning and actually remembered my dream and gave it a tryβ¦and it worked! I dunnoβ¦maybe this makes me some sort of cookie visionaryβ¦.;)
Seriously, these are so good and perfect for the fresh strawberries that are in season. Feel free to dip them in chocolate if you want more chocolate flavor. Just follow the instructions in my original macaroon recipe!
Enjoy!
