I have a cookbook called "The Kosher For Pesach Cookbook" and the recipes use both almond and vanilla extracts. The "cookbook is a project of the Yeshivat Aish HaTorah Women's Organization." I don't do much baking for Passover except for Horowitz Margaraten Sponge cake mix, which I doctor up with finely chopped walnuts. This year I would like to try coconut macaroons. I found this recipe in yesterday's N.Y Times magazine. It's from Fred's Restaurant, Barney's New York. The recipe uses vanilla extract. Here's the recipe
Preheat oven to 300F. With your hands mix all ingredients together. Make clumps about 1/2 inch in diameter and about 1 inch high. Place clumps about 1 inch apart on a parchment-lind baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Makes about 40 macaroons.
