Don't you love Christmas baking? Every year there are new possibilities, and the difficulty lies in choosing what recipes will make the final cut for the year.
I am going to start a series of Christmas box posts with a super easy gift that I made for my friend Craig, who cannot eat dairy or gluten. This year, I chose to make him Cherry-Topped Coconut Macaroons that I made using this recipe that I found online.
If you can stir things in a bowl and scoop things with a spoon, you can make these macaroons. You just need dessicated coconut, egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract, and glace cherries for the top (which is optional). I wanted the cherries on top because they make the macaroons look so festive with their red and white colours.
I tried the finished product and is is delicious, although rather on the sweet side.
These biscuits would make a great project for the kids these holidays, and I am sure would be appreciated by the recipient (provided they don't hate coconut!).
