COCONUT MERINGUE DROPS

Holiday cookies with coconut and almonds

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• whole unblanched almonds (optional)

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to In large bowl use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
2. Gradually beat in sugar. Add vanilla.
3. With a rubber spatula gently fold in coconut.
4. Drop by rounded tspfuls onto greased, floured cookie sheets. Press an almond in center of each cookie.
5. Bake at for 20 to 25 minutes.
6. Remove to racks to cool.

Notes

For me the almonds are required.

This cookie must be handled a little more carefully than most as it forms a white shell which causes it to be slightly delicate.
