I’ve been so so so tired of the bought coconut macaroons served at every Passover dinner. There is so much more beyond them. Besides, in my personal and modes opinion, they are dry and heavy!
This recipe is parve (no dairy), gluten-free, and you can add dry fruits if you would like to. You just need a bowl to mix all ingredients and a baking pan to cook it in the oven. It takes only 15 minutes to cook. This is a great recipe to ask your little ones to help you out.
