Ingredients
- 200g (7oz) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large eggs
Method of Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut and eggs. Mix well until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture becomes sticky.
- Scoop small portions of the mixture (about a tablespoon each) and form them into small balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Culinary Success
- Ensure the mixture is sticky enough to hold together. If it's too dry, add an additional egg white.
- For extra flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
