Divine Macaroon Cookies

When I travel to small towns, I love trying out local bakeries.  I find the most interesting taste combinations and flavors that I like to try out when I get home.  These Divine Macaroons are a variation of macaroons that we discovered at a small town bakery in Fort Bragg, CA.

1 package 16 oz. Angel Food Cake Mix by Betty Crocker
