Well, not counting the gravy I guess. Doesn’t it look yummy in this picture? My husband is getting great at taking pictures. Tips [...]

Not your Typical Coconut Macaroon Cookies

May 21, 2010
Coconut macaroon kimaroons

I love the ‘idea’ of macaroons and they always look so good with their pure sugary whiteness and dense but moist insides and wonderful coconuttiness. But for some reason, they never satisfied any of my cravings. I figured out that it’s because the proportion of sugar is much higher than fat than any other cookie, [...]

I went to the Asian market and bought ginger when it was on sale for 60 cents a pound (from Hawaii) and made this. You can also use the ginger fermenting ‘juice’ if you make ginger carrots (replacing the ginger [...]
