Maureen's Macaroons began with a simple conviction: a good macaroon is an irresistible thing. Each one is baked by hand in Routt County, Colorado, with the kind of attention you can only give when you're making a few dozen at a time rather than a few thousand.

The lineup is short on purpose. Chocolate coconut, white chocolate coconut, and a mix of the two — each finished with the contrast that makes a macaroon worth eating: a crisp golden edge giving way to a center that's sweet, chewy, and unmistakably coconut.
