Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or more to taste)
- 4 cups coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped red candied cherries
- 1/4 cup chopped green candied cherries
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease and lightly flour cookie sheets or line each sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Beat in sugar, flour, salt and almond extract until well blended. Stir in coconut and candied cherries.
Drop dough by scant tablespoons 2-inches apart onto cookie sheets.
Bake 13-17 mintues or until set and lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.
NOTE: When preparing cookies or bars that contain coconut, flaked coconut is preferred. Flaked coconut pieces are smaller and thinner than shredded. Shredded coconut is recommended for decorating or garnishing.
