MOUNDS MACAROONS



Mounds Macaroons image

Since this is a firm dough, the macaroons will hold their shape during baking and produce large mound-shaped cookies which, appropriately enough, contain pieces of Mounds candy bars. Recipe is from Bon Appetit magazine. Prep time does not include refrigeration time for chocolate to set up.
