EASY COCONUT MACAROONS

1 (16 oz.) bag coconut flakes
1 (14 oz.) can condensed milk
1 tsp. almond extract
1 (16 oz.) bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix coconut flakes, condensed milk and almond extract together in a large bowl. Mix until well blended and all the milk is absorbed. Drop mixture from spoon on ungreased cookie pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until bottom of cookie turns light brown. Cool on rack. These cookies stay soft and chewy.

Melt chocolate chips and dip top of cooled macaroons in melted chips. If desired you can also dip the chocoate top in chopped walnuts.

YUM! Another good one RE!

Potato Salad
CR,
I add bacon bits to mine.
Potatoes
Eggs
Onions
Pickles
mayo
small amount of mustard
Mix some bacon bits in
Chill
And right before serving add some more bacon bits to the top.

I do not add salt and pepper--I let people add their own.

Margo......
I made this potato salad and it was great!! And I was able to substitute low fat mayo & turkey bacon, because of hubby's diet. It was still great...lol!!

Thanks!!!!
