WE'RE SWEET ON THESE ORANGE-CHOCOLATE COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the egg whites in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer (fitted with the whisk attachment) until soft peaks form. Stir in the coconut, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla. Roll the mixture into balls and place on the baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, until lightly brown and set. Cool completely. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Dip the macaroons in the melted chocolate. (You can dip the tops, the bottoms, the sides at an angle-any way you'd like. Don't coat the entire macaroon in chocolate though.) Refrigerate for 25-30 minutes or until the chocolate sets.

PARISIAN PASSOVER COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 2 baking sheets and dust with cake meal, knocking off any excess.
• Make meringue:
• Cook sugar and water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring, until it reaches soft-ball stage (or registers 238°F on a candy thermometer).
• While syrup boils, beat whites in standing mixer on low speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually pour hot syrup in a thin stream down side of bowl into whites, beating constantly on high speed. (Be careful not to let syrup touch beaters when pouring, or it will spatter and harden.) Continue to beat until meringue is room temperature.
• Stir in coconut and spoon rounded teaspoons of meringue into mounds about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Shape mounds into pyramids with wet fingertips.
• Bake macaroons 1 sheet at a time in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until just firm enough to be removed from baking sheet without losing their shape. Carefully transfer to a rack to cool. (Macaroons will harden as they cool.)
