Coconut Macaroons
"Another recipe that I stole from a children's cookbook that I received awhile ago. Another recipe that I have posted on here calls for coconut macaroons, and it makes the recipe a whole lot tastier if you have made them yourself and not bought them from the store. Please Note: The macaroons will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days."

they taste so good I made it for a birthday -
Easy to make and they're gluten-free if you use maize corflour/cornstarch (not the wheaten variety). Makes a large batch.
