I think my husband said it best - These macaroons taste like they've been "dipped in magic butter." LOL No really...these are like eating a coconut cloud filled with sweet and salty, caramelly goodness. Remember that Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce that I made? Well, it's the star in this recipe and really makes these cookies special. The original recipe calls for caramel ice cream topping (which you can totally use instead), but I couldn't help but use my homemade version. The ingredient list for these is short, and they come together in a snap. If you have someone that loves caramel and/or coconut, surprise them with these on Valentine's Day! You could even dip the bottoms of each cookie into melted chocolate, or drizzle the tops with it instead. Now, please excuse me while I go scarf one down!

The baking bug hit our house hard this past weekend. We've got Chunky Monkey Bars, Blueberry Crumble Pie and these delicious Blueberry Muffins as evidence (or what's left of them). I've been craving Blueberry Muffins for quite a while, and when I saw these, I just couldn't resist! I mean....I had blueberries in the freezer practically BEGGING me to make them. It would have been a shame to let them down, right?? Any baker knows that the best muffins have a beautiful, high rise and are mouth-wateringly fluffy. These are straight-up bakery worthy and did not disappoint. For these, I increased the amount of blueberries a smidge, and I also added extra cinnamon to the streusel topping (because extra cinnamon is NEVER a bad thing). My changes are included below. You can use any kind of milk that you have on hand. I only had skim milk, but whole or buttermilk would have been even better. Enjoy, friends! Bakery Style Blueberry Streusel...
