These delightful cookies have a golden, crispy exterior while remaining soft and moist on the inside. They are often enjoyed during the holiday season but are perfect for any occasion when you crave a coconut-flavored snack.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the macaroons from sticking.
