Our dried-fruit-infused macaroons are a perfect mouthful of sweetness. We love their crispiness but for a softer, chewier cookie reduce their baking time to 11 to 13 minutes. It’s easier to separate egg whites from their yolks when the eggs are cold and eggs whites need to be at room temperature to whip to a stable foam and the right volume. To make this step more efficient, separate the egg whites immediately after being removed from the refrigerator and let them stand at room temperature while you’re assembling the other ingredients or at least 30 minutes. If cherry is not your thing, give cranberries or blueberries a try.
