OH
MY
GOODNESS.
Those are the most fabulous cookies/macaroons I have ever tasted.
I added coconut and it worked beautifully. I also added some vanilla and upped the almond ext. a bit. I LOVE these! And I love how they are a springboard recipe, too - I could add anything from dates to chopped marischino cherries to these.
I made half the recipe and only baked one batch, refrigerating the rest of the dough. I am so tempted to bake the rest right now, because the ones we made are all gone!! Ds loved them, too, and they are almost all oatmeal so I didn't feel too guilty. Thanks for this recipe!!!!!
