This is the cookie recipe that actually shut the internet down because of traffic.

I love the taste of coconut. Growing up the only time we really ate coconut was when my mom would bake German Chocolate cake. Ohh my goodness that brings back such amazing childhood memories. Probably because it was my Dad’s favorite cake in the world so we usually had it for his Birthday or another family celebration.

Crazy thing is my dad can not stand coconut with the exception of classic German Chocolate Cake frosting. So macaroons were not something my mom ever baked.

But once I grew up and had kitchen of my own, I realized that there were a few recipes I had never really attempted before.

One of our daughters loved coconut and one day we decided to make a batch of macaroons, They were a bit flat, but for a first attempt the flavor was spot on.

This is what Trish has to say about her cookie recipe.

One of my all-time favorite coconut indulgences is coconut macaroons. These are for the true coconut lover. The best coconut macaroons are beautifully toasted on the outside and sweet and chewy in the center. I can’t stand a dry macaroon!

Quick Tip: I don’t know if this is true or not, but my great Grandmother suggested not baking something like these of making candy on a day that was overcast or humid. That might have been why my first batch were flat!

Have you ever wondered what a cloud tasted like? Pretty sure this it it!

I love flying. Looking out the window and seeing the big fluffy clouds at eye level reminds me of gently spun cotton candy. I wonder what it would taste like..if clouds actually had flavor.
These cupcakes are so light and fluffy, don’t you think they at least look like a cloud?

The secret is in the cake flour. This recipe calls for flour and cornstarch ton be sifted together, but in reality, that is cake flour! I just discovered how to make cake flour earlier this year when I wanted to make a recipe that required that expensive ingredient that is usually purchased and after it has been used for the recipe sits in the back of the pantry collecting dust.

I also spent years wondering if cake flour really made that much difference in a recipe. Well, let me tell you straight up, IT DOES! I love that Samantha just incorporated the flour and corn starch in her recipe. But if you ever need cake flour for a recipe in the future, now you know how to make it yourself!

Coconut is such a delightful flavor. I love the fact that this recipe has Coconut milk in the ingredients. Next time you buy coconut milk..maybe for a curry recipe..pick up an extra can so you have it on hand. You never know when you might want to see what Heaven tastes like.

This is what Samantha has to say about her recipe.

I really try not to say that every recipe I share here is “the best.” But sometimes I just can’t help it…because it happens to be true. ? And if you like coconut cupcakes, the ones I’m bringing you today are, honestly, the best I’ve ever had. As a bonus, I happened to make them myself! While dirtying just one bowl! And guess what? You can, too!

Quick Tip: For best results make sure the ingredients are at room temperature. You can always set you eggs in a bowl of warm water while you start pre-heating the oven.
