Passover Apricot Macaroons
Ready In: 45 Minutes
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Serves 4
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the apricots, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tbsp of the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Poach until tender and only about 1 tbsp of water remains, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Transfer to a food processor, add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, the egg whites, and 1/2 cup of the coconut, and process until the apricots are pureed. Start with on/off pulses, then let the machine run. Transfer to the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters and add the remaining 4 cups coconut. On medium speed, beat until the coconut is well blended. Stop the machine and check the texture--the mixture should hold together when pinched. Continue mixing, if necessary.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. With lightly moistened fingers, shape each portion first into rounds and then into pointed cone shapes, resembling haystacks. Arrange on baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are well browned. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.
