Adapted from Crunchy Creamy Sweet’s recipe. These macaroons are perfectly fall-flavored, with pumpkin and coconut pairing as well in cookies as they do in Starbucks specialty drinks. With or without the dark chocolate dip finale, these cookies are perfect for pretty much any occasion, and are so easy to throw together!
