First-Place Coconut Macaroons

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 20 min./batch YIELD: about 1-1/2 dozen.

These coconut macaroon cookies earned me a first-place ribbon at the county fair. They remain my husband's favorites—whenever I make them to give away, he always asks me where his batch is! I especially like the fact that this recipe makes a small enough batch for the two of us to nibble on. —Penny Ann Habeck, Shawano, Wisconsin
