Coconut Egg White Macaroons

by on January 15, 2013

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 egg whites from large free range eggs (should be about ½ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup splenda
  • about 2 Tablespoons water

Preparation:
1) Heat oven to 375 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
2) Measure egg whites. If they aren’t quite ½ cup, add a little water to reach that level.
3) Add the vanilla and water
4) Mix together splenda and unsweetened coconut.
5) Mix dry and wet ingredients together. The mixture should just hold together. Let set a minute or two and you’ll be able to mold them better.
6) Roll into balls a little bigger than an inch in diameter. Slightly flatten and put on baking sheet (whatever shape you put them in is how they will stay). Put at least half an inch apart.
7) Turn down the oven to 325 F, and bake for about 15 minutes, but start checking them a couple of minutes before. You want them golden brown on the bottom, and just barely starting to brown on top (though if you like them a little crispier, bake a couple of minutes longer).
