I will start this post off by saying a huge thank you to all those who sent positive thoughts to me the past few weeks while we lived without power. We are officially back in business after 2 very long weeks without… My thoughts still go out to those who are living without power and homes due to the horrible devastation that was Hurricane Sandy. I encourage everyone to donate, even if it’s just a few dollars to the relief efforts for those who are now homeless and suffering. When the power finally came back on late afternoon last Friday I had never been so excited to run a load of laundry…or wash a load of dishes. That excitement lasted about 37 minutes. Apparently it wasn’t DOING the laundry that I missed, it was the ABILITY to do the laundry. And although I complained every minute of every day without power, or running water or internet, there are many who are far worse off than I. I’m a bit of a princess. Working on it…kinda-sorta. So as my inaugural post-power treat I decided to get serious…Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons. I took the base idea for these from the Host A Cookie Party site…I contributed some fun ideas along with Jamie from My Baking Addiction on how to throw a Cookie Party. And I’m running a fun giveaway HERE (only one day left to enter) to win all the essentials to get your cookie party started. But back to these cookies. They are sweet, salty, chewy, coconutty…. Pretty much everything a cookie should be. I mean, if you like coconut. If you don’t…well, can we still be friends?
