Macaroons are a European confection especially popular at Passover. Here, the use of pecans adds a taste of the American South. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups kosher-for-passover powdered sugar, sifted |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa |
2 tablespoons matzo meal |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 large egg whites |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Add egg whites, 1 at a time, beating with a mixer at medium speed until combined; scrape bowl occasionally. Add vanilla, and beat well. Fold in pecans. Drop batter by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
3. Bake at 325° for 15 minutes or until dry on the surface and centers are soft. Remove from oven; cool on wire racks for 15 minutes or until cookies can be easily removed with a spatula. Cool completely on wire racks.
