Celebrate National Cookie Day with these great cookies … and tea!

So…today is National Cookie Day! Who knew? I didn’t until I saw it on Twitter. Not sure where all these national days come from, so I thought I'd look it up. This interesting tidbit of information came from Muppet Wiki (didn't know about that either!):

National Cookie Day is a minor holiday, celebrating cookies in all their sugary glory. It occurs on December 4th of every year, but is not widely observed. Cookie Monster proclaimed his own National Cookie Day in the 1980 book The Sesame Street Dictionary.

Read more about the history of National Cookie Day at Days of the Year and get a recipe for peanut butter cookies, as well.

I thought I'd get in on the celebration and share the recipe for these awesome cookies. They get rave reviews whenever I make them, and are included in the Morrell Family Cook Book. I don't remember where I got the recipe, but they're super easy and just as delicious!

Chocolate Chip Macaroons

¾ cup sweetened condensed milk

3 cups shredded coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla

¾ cups chocolate chips

Preheat over to 350. Grease cookie sheet. Combine all ingredients. Stir well. Drop by teaspoons on cookie sheet about 1” apart. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about three dozen.

Don't forget to let me know how they come out! Of course, you have to love coconut. ~ Mary
