Coconut Macaroons

These macaroons are simple to make and according to Jason, really tasty.

Disclaimer: he hasn't tried mine (yet).

I made these for Jason's birthday, which is Thursday. They smell really good. And I'm not a big fan of coconut.

Note: I bought the coconut (x 2) at Food City in small 2 oz packages under the brand "El Guapo." They cost about 79 cents each. I didn't have any vanilla but I needed it anyways for a future baking project - scones, probably, so it wasn't a big deal to buy it.
