Our dried-fruit-infused macaroons are the perfect Passover treat. If cherry is not your thing, give cranberries or blueberries a try.

Ingredients

Egg whites

2 serving(s), large, at room temperature

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Sugar

cup(s)

All-purpose flour

2 tbsp(s)

Vanilla extract

½ tsp(s)

Sweetened coconut flakes

1 cup(s)

Dried cherries

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper coated with cooking spray. (Note: if you do not have parchment paper, simply coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.)
  2. Combine egg whites and salt in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer at low speed until egg whites are foamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar, increasing the mixer speed until egg whites form stiff, glossy peaks.
  3. Fold in remaining ingredients. Drop batter by tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Yields about 2 cookies per serving.
