Macaroon Sandwich Cookies image

What do you get when you cross a macaroon with a macaron? A cookie that is truly magnifique! Give the traditional Passover dessert a French accent by sandwiching preserves between two crisp, chewy coconut cookies. Choose tart fruit spreads-we used mango, raspberry, and apricot-to balance the macaroons' sweetness.
