Recipe Coconut Cookies

Coconut cookies are a delightful treat that offers a perfect balance of crunch and sweetness. These cookies are golden brown on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, making them a delicious snack for any occasion. Best of all, they are incredibly easy to make, allowing you to whip up a batch even after a long day at work. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Method

1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whip the egg whites: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and powdered sugar together until the mixture becomes frothy.
3. Add the coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut using a spatula. Test the mixture by rolling a small ball in your hands. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add another egg white. If it’s too wet, incorporate a little more coconut.
4. Shape the cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to place the cookie mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. You can also roll the mixture into balls with your hands.
5. Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Then, open the oven and move the baking sheet to the top rack. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies turn golden brown.
6. Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days.

Enjoy your delightful coconut cookies as a sweet treat any time of day!
