Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cup large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Thoroughly combine coconut, granulated sugar, egg whites, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl using your hands or a wooden spoon.

Form 2 table­spoons of the mix­ture at a time into 2-inch-tall trees with your hands, us­ing your fingertips to make pointed tops.

Transfer each tree to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spac­ing them 1 inch apart.

Bake until edges are golden and trees are firm, 12 to 14 min­utes.

Let cool on baking sheet on a wire rack at least 15 min­utes.

Cookies can be made up to 1 day ahead; dust with con­fectioners’ sugar just before serving.
