The Fifth Recipe For Christmas- Walnut Coffee Macaroons

The Fifth Recipe For Christmas- Walnut Coffee Macaroons are an absolute delight.  I am always on the prowl for Macaroon Recipes which are a must for Christmas in our family. This year I made two kinds –  Walnut Macaroons with brown sugar and Coffee Macaroons with cashew nuts, which I know will go down well with the coffee addicts in our family. The Walnut Macaroons are nearly over and the Coffee Macaroons are hidden away.
