Coconut-Nut Macaroons image

The reward of these classic one-bowl cookies far outweighs the effort of making them. They are so easy - just dump and stir - and you don't need any special equipment. Here, Mark Bittman adds a generous handful of pistachios for crunch and color. They are also gluten-free, and the perfect treat for Passover.

Time 30m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
3 egg whites, lightly beaten until just foamy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together egg whites, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a rubber spatula or your hands.
  • Use a nonstick baking sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wet your hands and make small piles of the mixture, each 1 to 2 tablespoons; place on sheet about an inch apart.
  • Bake until firm to the touch and lightly browning on edges, about 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before eating. These keep well in a covered container for up to 3 days.
