Ina Garten’s Coconut Macaroons

Ina Garten’s Coconut Macaroons

I know y’all may think I go a little overboard with my love for Ina Garten, but please bear with me as I share another of her all star dishes.  This time it’s Coconut Macaroons.  I’ve been making them for years and people go nuts over them. I’ve been told countless times by friends and family that these macaroons are their absolute favorite special occasion dessert. I make them each and every Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they have become a staple around our holiday table. But, honestly, there isn’t a time of the year that these wouldn’t be a welcome addition to a family gathering. So glad I discovered these years ago and hope that you make them and feel the same way. Bon appetit!
