The Coconut Macaroon

Most people have strong feelings about coconut and for those who possess a deep passion for this tropical fruit, there is the coconut macaroon cookie.  Different than a typical sugar or butter based cookie, the coconut macaroon is both crunchy (on the outside) and chewy (on the inside) with a moist creamy texture.

Amy’s Cookies of Brooklyn, New York makes the most luscious coconut macaroon two ways: a traditional plain version and a coconut macaroon dipped in dark chocolate. Each cookie is a mound of coconut decadence baked to perfection:  browned on the outside to give the crunch yet delightfully soft on the inside…and not too sweet. The addition of dark chocolate on half of the macaroon makes Amy’s Coconut Macaroons a special treat.

Each cookie is as high as it is long and weighs nearly 2 ounces. Exquisitely wrapped in a plastic bag with a pastel colored bow and placed in a decorated windowed bag within a beautiful hard decorated cardboard box filled with brightly colored raffia ribboned confetti, Amy’s Coconut Macaroons make a beautiful gift (even if to yourself). Half the fun is opening and unwrapping all the bags, ribbons, and boxes to get to the macaroons!

A dozen plain macaroons sell for $32 (wrapping included). Eight chocolate dipped coconut macaroons sell for $32 or ten cookies (6 plain and 4 chocolate dipped) sell for $32  plus shipping. Order on-line from the company website (listed below) or place an order by phone:
