Nothing tops brownies, for me, when it comes to dessert, but anything lemon comes at a close second! My whole family loves lemon desserts, and these Easy Lemon Macaroons are no exception. These are so quick and easy to make – you are going to love them!
We just couldn’t get enough of these macaroons. The coconut toasts on the outside, adding a tiny bit of crunch, but the inside is wonderfully chewy, and sweet, and scrumptious!
These are definitely lemony without being overpowering. The coconut and lemon are both the stars here. I added the juice and the zest from the lemons to give a really bright flavor. These are so perfect for spring and summer! (And the rest of the year, too!) Enjoy!
