These are addictive and dangerous! Caramelized and crunchy on the bottom but chewy throughout. Right now I'm looking out of the corner of my eye at the rest of them that are on the cooling rack trying to decide how many I can get away with eating. I may add a little extra almond essence next time. Divine! Delightful! Thank you for posting! Reviewed for ZWT - 7.

Wow, we loved the cruchy, caramelized bottoms of these cookies, this was the icing on the cookie so to speak for the both of us. I adore toasted coconut cookies and these were perfection, rich, moist, crunchy, chewy, carmalized and full of coconut. Quick and really easy to make. They taste better than the macaroons you buy at the pastry shop. I will be making these for a long time to come. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe FloridaNative. Made for ZWT7 for Witchin Kitchen.
