Macaroons posing as thumbprint cookies…suspicious.

Here’s the verdict.

A sweet coconutty cookie with a chocolate ganache filled crater smack-dab in the center, these will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND.

I made these while the baby took a nap for some much needed “meditation” time.

These can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, perfect for an impromptu coffee break or dinner party!
