COCONUT-DROPS(C)         USENET Cookbook         COCONUT-DROPS(C)

COCONUT MERINGUE DROPS
     COCONUT-DROPS - Holiday cookies with coconut and almonds

     Coconut and almonds give this cookie a distinctive flavor.

INGREDIENTS (5 dozen)
     3         egg whites
     1 cup     sugar
     1 tsp     vanilla
     1 cup     shredded coconut
               whole unblanched almonds (optional)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 300 deg. F.  In large bowl use an
               electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff
               peaks form.

          (2)  Gradually beat in sugar. Add vanilla.

          (3)  With a rubber spatula gently fold in coconut.

          (4)  Drop by rounded tspfuls onto greased, floured
               cookie sheets.  Press an almond in center of each
               cookie.

          (5)  Bake at 300 deg. F for 20 to 25 minutes.

          (6)  Remove to racks to cool.

NOTES
     It is a lot of work to beat the egg whites enough without an
     electric mixer.

     For me the almonds are required.

     This cookie must be handled a little more carefully than
     most as it forms a white shell which causes it to be
     slightly delicate.

RATING
     Difficulty: Easy.  Time: 20 minutes preparation, 30 minutes
     baking and cooling.  Precision: Approximate measurement OK.
