How to make?
Ingredients
1/4 cup
1/2 cup sugar
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, toasted lightly, divided
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg whites a little at a time, beating slowly after each addition. Beat for 5 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and fold it in gently with 1 1/2 cups of the coconut.
Spoon rounded teaspoons of the mixture 3 inches apart on to baking sheets that have been greased or using Silpat.
With the remaining 1/2 cup coconut, sprinkle a little over the center of each round.
Bake the rounds at 400 degrees F on the middle rack of the oven for 6 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Let the cookies stay on the baking sheets for half a minute, or until they are just firm enough to hold their shape. Then drape them over the side of a rolling pin or bottle.
Let the cookies cool completely.
