Chocolate & Pecan Macaroons
We love the rich chocolate flavor in these chewy cookies that are like a cross between higher-fat coconut macaroons and low-fat, low-calorie, egg-white-based meringues.

Ingredients
Directions
To Make Ahead
Store airtight for up to 3 days. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
Tips
To bring an egg to room temperature, set it on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge it (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes.
To melt chocolate, microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted. Or place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted.
To make the cookies kosher for Passover, skip the confectioners' sugar or make a kosher version yourself: Combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 tablespoon potato starch in a food processor and process until very finely ground and powdery. Store leftovers in a dry container in the pantry.
