Easy Sugar Cookie Macaroons

I made these for our Super Bowl Party.  I love anything coconut.  These were extremely easy to make.  And I even cheated one step to make them easier.

Ingredients:

1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (already in cut portions)
3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 4 oz bittersweet chocolate baking bar, chopped
2 tbls whipping cream

Cut cookie portion into two and roll into balls. Roll the balls in coconut and  place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes.  Cool completely.

Combine chocolate and whipping cream in a glass bowl.  Microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir.  Spoon melted chocolate into a small ziploc bag.  Snip a hole in a corner of bag and pipe on center of half of the cookies. Top with remaining half of cookies.

(I got lazy and just used chocolate fudge frosting on the cookies and they were just as delicious!)

This will make 24 cookie sandwiches.
