Irish Dessert name? 10 points best answer!!?!


Question: Irish Dessert name? 10 points best answer!!?
So about 5 years ago, on St. Patrick's day, we made this Irish dessert that tasted SOO yummy...i'm not sure what it was called, and I'm trying to remember because I need something new to bake for tomorrow. It was kinda like a dessert made from dough, and I'm pretty sure there were coconut shreds sprinkled on the outside. Also, it wasn't flat like a cookie, it was pretty round, about the size of a Dunkin Donuts Munchkin. Can you guys help me figure out what the name was? Thank you so much, remember 10 points!

Answers:

Macaroons
Unsweetened shredded coconut is available in health food stores. You can also use sweetened shredded coconut (reduce the sugar in the recipe from 3/4 cup to 1 tablespoon). For the variations, pair the coconut with chocolate – chips or cocoa powder – to create rich combinations reminiscent of a candy bar. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.

3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups (about 3 ounces) unsweetened shredded coconut
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, coconut, egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Use your hands to mix well, completely combining ingredients.

Dampen hands with cold water. Use 1 1/2 tablespoons to form mounds; place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.

Bake until golden brown, 16 to 17 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool on a wire rack. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

This is a recipe someone posted that said they got it from martha stewart. I know macaroons in the ball shape but all the irish recipes I found said to make them as a bar. There are tea cookies too but I did not see any with coconut not that you couldn't add it if you liked.
