List of Ingredients

4 large egg whites
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounces sweetened coconut, lightly toasted


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, whip egg whites and salt until they become white and begin to stiffen. Add sugar in 3 parts. Continue to whip until the egg whites are very stiff. Using a rubber spatula fold in toasted coconut. On parchment lined cookie sheets, drop a teaspoon of the mixture leaving 1 to 2 inches around each cookie. Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The outside should be golden brown but the insides should still be moist. Yield: about 40 cookies
