Coconut Macaroons

It was always such a treat when we would visit Las Vegas and go to the buffets, where they have SO many desserts on display. I always headed straight for the coconut macaroons, my all-time favorites! Well, the last time we went, none of the buffets had the macaroons. I guess all of those fancy […]
