Photobucket

Ingredients
1 & 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
2 egg whites (Room temperature)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Dash of Creme of Tartar
Dash of salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar

Directions
Beat egg whites and dashes of salt & cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
Gradually add in sugar and vanilla extract while beating until peaks are stiff and glossy.
Fold in coconut.
Drop by rounded teaspoon onto greased baking sheet.
These guys are sticky! So really grease that sheet!

Bake at 325 F 16-20 minutes until set and very slightly browned.
Center will still be soft and yummy.

Number of Servings: 20, but I make mine a bit bigger. So more like 10-15.
