Even nonbakers will find this traditional Passover cookie an easy-to-make dessert. With just four ingredients, the macaroons can be whipped up in under 20 minutes. Feel free to dip cooled macaroons in melted semi-sweet chocolate, and chill until it hardens.

Yield Makes about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine sugar, coconut, 3 egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Using your hands, mix well, completely combining ingredients. The additional egg white may be added, a little at a time, if the mixture is dry and doesn't hold together.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons to form mounds; place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Dampen your hands with water if necessary, and pinch mounds to create a pyramid shape.
  • Bake until golden brown, rotating halfway through, 16 to 17 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
