These cookies are the RAVE made by my SC galpal Patty .. and I was so excited to finally get the recipe one fine day ... only to discover she was secretly using Ina Garten's recipe (Food Network). Imagine my surprise! Then, I discovered it is almost the same recipe as the coconut package ... except that recipe includes flour. Is everyone as excited as I am to finally have this truly FABULOUS macaroon recipe !!
