Christmas Honey Macaroonies
I love Christmas.
Visiting family…
Celebrating family…
And having Christmas feasts.
Especially the feasts.
My mom and sister, the real bakers in the family, make these honey macaroonies every year.
I ate eight. In one day.
Let the feasting begin!
Honey Macaroonies
1 1/2 c. quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 c. flaked coconut
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/2 c. all purpose flour
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 tbsp. honey
36 red or green candied cherries
In a large bowl stir together, rolled oats, flaked coconut, chopped walnuts, and flour; set aside. In a saucepan combine brown sugar, butter, and honey; bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Pour over oat mixture, blending well.
For each cookie press one level tablespoonful mixture into greased 1 3/4 inch muffin pan. (For flatter, crisper cookie, place in 2 inch muffin pan.) Top each cookie with a candied cherry. Bake at 350 degrees until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, in pan; remove to rack. Cool thoroughly. Makes 3 dozen.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a New Year’s Friday Five tomorrow and New Year’s Resolutions Saturday!

These look so good and it sounds like they would be easy to make gluten free. Thanks!

Thanks for the recipe! You are quite a baker yourself, even though you didn’t make those–I used to love those red and green cherries as a kid in fruitcake!

Eight in one day is the minimum (including afternoon snack…)!!
No funny New Year plans at the moment: on 31st night, maybe an open air concert in the town center.
