<p style="text-align:left;">This was a new recipe for this year and I do believe these will become a staple in our household. Even The Kid likes them.</p>

<p>Since we have a kid in the house I figure it might be good to try my hand at some Sugar Cookie Cut outs.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Coconut Macaroons</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">These are a staple at Christmas in my house, the recipe comes from my Cook&#8217;s Illustrated (the people who bring you America&#8217;s Test Kitchen) Cookbook. Their secret is half sweetened, half unsweetened coconut.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">This recipe came from somewhere online, it was featured on Good Morning America and I believe from Sarah Moulton. I do one thing differently and that is mix the pine nuts in with the batter instead of pressing them on top.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">This was a request last year from The Hubby and has quickly become The Kids favorite as well. I made 2 batches, one with Walnuts as I am allergic to Pecans. These are so easy I don&#8217;t know why I don&#8217;t make them for other holidays. Hmmmm maybe I will.</p>
