These were my Daddy’s favorite cookies.  If you like macaroon cookies, this recipe is easy and delicious and will become one of your favorites too.  If you have a chocolate lover in the house, add a milk or dark chocolate candy kiss to the center after they have cooled slightly.

MACAROON COOKIES

2 ( 8 oz.) bag shredded coconut flakes, 1 (15 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Get out a cookie sheet, spray the sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray, set aside.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Get out a bowl, add all the ingredients into the bowl, mix well.  Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of the coconut mixture, drop onto the cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the coconut spikes turn a light brown.  Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
