Toasted Almond-Coconut Macaroons

Made of ground nuts so they are flour-free, easy-to-prepare macaroons are a Passover favorite of both Ashkenazim and Sephardim. The simple becomes seductive when the almonds are briefly toasted first, their skins left on, and drizzled with maple syrup or brown sugar.

To avoid disappointment, taste the almonds before you start the recipe to make sure they are fresh.
