What do you get when you cross a macaroon with a macaron? A cookie that is truly magnifique! Give the traditional Passover dessert a French accent by sandwiching preserves between two crisp, chewy coconut cookies. Choose tart fruit spreads—we used mango, raspberry, and apricot—to balance the macaroons' sweetness.

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
3 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
8 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
½ cup jam

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together egg whites, sugar, and salt until frothy. Stir in coconut until moist. Drop teaspoon-size mounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets; flatten with a fork.
Bake until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon jam onto bottoms of half the cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies. Filled cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
