Calories: 155 kcal
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup (99 g) sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sifted Dutch-processed cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, check that it is kosher for Passover
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups (360 g) sweetened long-shred coconut (often called “angel flake”)
Preparation:
-
Position racks in upper and lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line two rimmed baking sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly coat paper with nonstick spray. Set aside.
-
Whisk together the egg whites, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and salt together very well in a mixing bowl. Fold in the coconut until everything comes together.
-
Dollop macaroons out onto prepared pan in approximately 2-tablespoon sized mounds (the size of Ping-Pong balls; I like to use my Zeroll #40 scoop) evenly spaced apart.
-
Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, rotating pans front to back and from upper to lower rack halfway through. When done the chocolate macaroons will be dry to the touch and a bit firm, but still feel moist in the middle.
-
Cool pans on racks. Chocolate macaroons are ready to eat or may be stored in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 3 days.
