These Pumpkin Coconut Macaroons are the perfect cookie to add to your fall baking list. Every bite of these cookies is a a sweet, gooey pumpkin treat!
The idea for my recipe came from an Ina Garten themed dinner party I threw for my mom in the past. That night, I made the most delicious coconut macaroons from Ina Garten’s cookbook – Barefoot Contessa Family Style. I decided to revisit this cookbook to add my own fall twist on these classic cookies. And they came out delicious!
However, when I stored them in an airtight container for another day, they got very sticky. (I didn’t mind the sticky because they tasted so good, but they were a little messy). Any suggestions on how to make them not as sticky are greatly appreciated!
