Flourless Coconut Macaroons

Note from Cheri: I made these cookies for a picnic dinner I gave at the Hollywood Bowl last season. Everyone raved about them and they disappeared fast. A few people even said that these were the best macaroons they'd ever had. This is one of the easiest cookie recipes to make -- it takes no time. These are also a perfect Passover treat, as baked goods need to be made without flour for this Jewish holiday.

3 cups sweetened coconut 4 egg whites 3/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Makes About 3 Dozen Cookies Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (foil will also do in a pinch). Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix well. Drop mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are firm and light brown -- about 25 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
