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.
