Macaroons - NOT French macarons - are the easiest cookies of all time to make. You only need THREE ingredients: egg whites, sugar, and coconut. And there's hardly any measuring required. Just dump, stir, drop and bake. The coconut treats are hands down the best part of Passover (notice they're flourless!), but really, everyone should be making them much more often.

To make the batter (it's not quite a cookie dough), whisk together egg whites and sugar until frothy. For one 14-oz bag of coconut, you'll need three egg whites and 1/2 to 2/3 cup of sugar, depending on how sweet you like you desserts. It's not required, but we recommend adding some vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of salt too. Then just mix in the coconut, scoop into small mounds and bake. After about 25 minutes, you have adorable little toasty macaroons.

BUT, if you like chocolate, then there's an easy way to turn the humble coconut macaroon into a Death By Chocolate monster. When you're whisking the egg white mixture, add some cocoa powder and melted chocolate too. It takes no work at all to make an already delish cookie over-the-top indulgent ... in a very good way.
