Coconut Macaroons

Here is the recipe that uses the egg whites that you will have left when you make Toffee Bars. You can make 1/2 the recipe if you only have one egg yolk, otherwise you'll just have to make Toffee Bars again and get another yolk! It turns out that coconuts are so good for you in all their forms so whether you eat coconut oil, coconut palm sugar or drink coconut milk, or coconut water, you are doing a good thing for your health. You can even use coconut oil as a moisturizer for all of your skin!

Coconut macaroons:


2 egg whites Dash of salt 1/2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup sugar or 1/4 cup sugar and 1 to 2 dashes of Stevia extract
1 cup shredded coconut

Beat egg whites with salt and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Gradually add sugar (and stevia), beating until stiff. Fold in
coconut.
Coat cooking sheet with generous amount of butter.
Drop by the rounded teaspoon onto cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes.
Makes about 18 cookies.

These are so easy and good plus each cookie will give you about 4 grams of coconut oil.
