Chiperoon???
Yes. Chiperoon.
If a Macaroon and a Chocolate Chip Cookie got married and had a kid…it would be a chip-eroon. Which is exactly what you find here!
You’re planning a cookie exchange, attending one, or just baking up a storm and wanna try a new cookie recipe, look no further! These are all about the fruity burst from the cherries, combined with the smooth and sweet chocolate…with the texture and punch from the coconut…makes for fantastical holiday cookies!
Move over (French) Macaroons…there’s a new trend brewing in the baking world! Here come the Chip-eroons! 😉
Happy holiday baking my friend!!!
Yum
