Ingredients
- 1 cup of shredded coconut (~ 125 grams)
- 1/2 cup of sugar or slightly less (~ 125 grams)
- 2 egg whites
- vanilla (whole or extract)
Directions
| 1. | Mix the shredded coconut, the sugar and the vanilla in a bowl |
| 2. | Beat the egg whites vigorously so as to liquefy them for 5 or 10 minutes. This recipe doesn’t require the egg whites to solidify and the concoction should be liquid with a little foam at the top. |
| 3. | Pour the whole egg white mixture into the shredded coconut, sugar, vanilla mix and blend in to fully humidify the dry elements |
| 4. | The end result should be humid and compact enough that it can retain its shape |
| 5. | Form small balls with the dough (1 inch diameter), you will get about 12 of them |
| 6. | Bake on a plaque layered with wax paper at 375°F for 10-12 minutes |
