Cookie Friday: Coconut macaroons

Happy Friday, everyone!  I'm so glad that the weekend is finally here, although I'm a little disappointed that there's rain in the forecast tomorrow.  I was hoping to go for a long, leisurely bike ride.  But I'm thankfully that we've had so many beautiful fall days this past month.  It's been a blessing!

For my favorite day of the week, Cookie Friday, I'm sharing a speedy 5-ingredient recipe that my husband went ga-ga over.  He loves anything coconut, so I clipped this recipe for coconut macaroons from the August/September issue of Taste of Home magazine.

These were so easy to make and would make a cool tailgating treat.  My husband has already requested them again, and he's pretty picky when it comes to sweets.

So without further delay, here's the recipe.  Enjoy, my friends!
