Passover Recipes

Maybe you’ve seen Terrbear37’s Passover Gift Box in her etsy shop…. but did you know she also blogged the recipe?  Over at her Life with Terri blog, she posted this recipe for Chocolate Coconut Cookies – not only are they great for Passover, but they’d be great for people with wheat/gluten allergies, too:

4 egg whites
1 12oz. package semisweet chocolate chips
1 14oz package coconut
*Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. In the meantime, melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Fold the egg whites and coconut into the melted chocolate. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 mins.

Enjoy!

 

April, of AgruArts Ceramics Shop, recipe submissions for the holiday sound delicious!  Some favorites: “THE BEST PASSOVER SPONGE CAKE IN THE WHOLE WORLD” from The Jewish Holiday Cookbook by Gloria Kaufer Greene, and “PINEAPPLE FARFEL KUGEL” from Beyond Chicken Soup by the Jewish Home Auxiliary, Rochester, NY.  Here are some more for you to try….

Add rest of ingredients and stir well.
Spoon into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes.
