Ingredients
- 400 g shredded coconut unsweetened
- 150 g icing sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 egg whites
- semisweet chocolate for dipping/drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the static oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, briefly whisk the egg whites. Add the sugar and salt. Whisk until thick and foamy.
- Using a spatula, mix in the coconut until just combined. Try not to over-mix.
- Scoop one tablespoon of the mixture and form a compact ball with your hands. Wet your hands while doing this if the dough is too sticky. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just slightly colored on the outside. Let cool completely.
- Melt your chocolate using the microwave or a double boiler. Dip the bottom of each cookie in the chocolate and place back on the lined baking sheet. Use the remaining chocolate to drizzle on top!
