Jackie Olenick, right, making macaroons for Passover at home this morning in Bloomington, Indiana. With her are two old friends, Donna Baron, left; and Bonnie Gordon-Lucas, center. They call themselves “The Three Bubbes!”
Jackie said, “Here’s something sweet for Pesach.”
Easy Chocolate Chip and/or Peanut Butter Macaroons
Ingredients:
5 cups flaked unsweetened coconut
3 egg whites
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp vanilla
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or mini peanut butter chips)
Preheat oven to 325. Beat the egg whites until fluffy; you may have to add a little more egg whites. Gently mix egg whites into all the other ingredients and scoop into mounds (I use a teaspoon). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake about 15 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool and enjoy.
Jackie said, “You’ll never buy store-bought again!” Chag sameach!
