Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (to be added by recipient)
- 4 large Egg whites (to be added by recipient)
Instructions
In a 1-quart glass jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: sweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Use a spoon to gently tamp down each layer to create distinct lines.
Seal the jar tightly and optionally attach a note or gift tag with the following baking instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Pour the contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl. Add 4 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until everything is evenly combined and forms a sticky mixture.
3. Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and slightly set in the center.
5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
