Hello loves,
Today I’m bringing these chocolate cherry and pistachio macaroons to the table and let me just say, yum. These come together in a flash and are so good! Crunchy around the edges and soft and chewy on the inside.
I promise I will share other recipes besides cookies but I went on a cookie baking bender when my grandma was here so had to share! If you’re looking for other recipes my crockpot beef and veggie soup is a winner as well as my baked lemon chicken and potatoes.
Chocolate Cherry and Pistachio Macaroons
Chocolate Cherry and Pistachio Macaroons
Filled with coconut, dried cherries and topped with chocolate and pistachios. These are delicious and not too rich. The perfect snack cookie!
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
- 1 14oz package of sweetened shredded coconut
- 4 oz chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Position racks to bottom third and top third of oven. Preheat to 325°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk egg whites, sugar, salt and almond extract until combined. Fold in cherries and coconut until combined. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out mixture and place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Use fingers to make little pyramids out of them. Bake, switching pans halfway through until edges are golden brown, about 20-24 minutes. Then transfer to cooling racks and let cool completely.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips. Heating in 20 second intervals and stirring well between each one. Once melted use a spoon to spoon some chocolate over the tops in the center. Sprinkle pistachios over the chocolate and let cool completely. Can pop in refrigerator to quicken this! Enjoy!
