I took my grandmother's recipe for chocolate coconut macaroons and made them festive by adding half of a maraschino cherry to the top of each one. Her recipe called for 12 ounces of semisweet melted chocolate, but I used Hershey's® unsweetened cocoa powder instead because it's what I had on hand.

2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups shredded coconut

  • 12 maraschino cherries, halved

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with waxed paper.

  2. Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

  3. Beat cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt into egg white mixture until incorporated; fold in coconut. Drop spoonfuls of coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until coconut starts to brown, about 20 minutes.

  5. Press a cherry half into the top of each macaroon; transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
