Recipe for Angel Food Cake Macaroons

At the A is for Addalyn first birthday brunch, I wanted to serve (mostly) desserts that started with the letter "A."  It was a fun way to stick with the theme.  Today, I'm sharing an insanely easy recipe for Angel Food Coconut Macaroons.

They're quick to whip up, light, and delicious.  All things I love in a cookie.

Ingredients for Angel Food Coconut Macaroon Cookies

• one box of angel food cake mix (16 oz)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 t vanilla (or coconut extract, if you prefer)
• 2 cups flaked coconut

Instructions?  Dump it in your mixing bowl.  Mix.  I told you it was easy.

Drop spoonfuls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat.  Trust me, don't skip this step.  These things, with all the egg whites in the cake mix, can really stick to surfaces.  I was very glad to have used the parchment paper.

Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes, until the cookies begin to turn lightly golden around the edges.  

Yum!  I think next time I'll make them half this size, and make little sandwiches with some fresh lime curd.  Does that sound like a little bite of tropical heaven or what?
