My brain is having a hard time understanding this...I had no idea you could make this dish with just 2 ingredients

With just two ingredients, this coconut macaroon recipe is a true testament to the simplicity and beauty of traditional Midwestern cooking. Born out of necessity and ingenuity, these sweet treats were a staple in many farming households where ingredients needed to stretch far while feeding many. The gentle aroma of coconut baking in the oven can whisk you back to simpler times, making this a wonderful recipe to share with loved ones on a chilly afternoon or as a special end to a family gathering.
These coconut macaroons are delightful on their own, but you can also pair them with a warm cup of tea or coffee. For a more decadent touch, consider serving them alongside a bowl of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. They can also be a lovely addition to a dessert platter featuring other nostalgic favorites like apple pie or rhubarb crisp.
