Ingredients

1 1/4 cups Angel Flake Sweetened Coconut

1 1/4 cups Sugar

2 large Egg Whites

1/2 cup All-purpose Flour

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper that has been coated lightly with unsalted butter.

Whisk the egg whites in a medium size bowl until frothy. Add teh coconut and sugar until incorporated. Slowly add the flour, mixing by hand until the dough comes together, noting that the dough will remain very wet and sticky. Roll into small 3/4 in. balls, flatten slightly, and place two inches apart on the sheet.

Bake for 6-7 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until the edges are golden brown.

Remove and allow to set for 3-4 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Eat immediately or store in a a zip-lock bag for up to one week!

Enjoy!

Note:

You can make larger cookies, just adjust the cooking time accordingly (increase by a few minutes), and be careful to keep the cookies further apart on the sheet.

Variation:

To make Chocolate Coconut Cookies, add 2 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder.

To make Chocolate Dipped or Chocolate Drizzled Coconut Cookies, melt bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler and dip or drizzle the cookies as desired.
