12 Days of Christmas Recipes with Food Network.

UPDATE: We tried these on Wednesday and they rock. The chocolate and the creamy nuts with the coconut -- seriously good, like an upscale Mounds bar.

Ok so every year, I look forward to getting the 12 Days of Christmas Cookie newsletter from Food Network.

Here's a teaser from today's newsletter. Alton Brown's Paradise Macaroons. They look seriously yummy with all that coconut, chocolate and toasted macadamia nuts.
