Macaroons

These are actually a fairly low cal and wholesome cookie. Chewy and just lightly sweet.

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded coconut (preferably the unsweetened kind)
½ cup honey
4 tablespoons white whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour)
½ cup liquid egg whites

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour and coconut in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, beat together the eggs and honey. Slowly add the flour/coconut mixture to the larger bowl with the egg whites and honey until thoroughly mixed. Drop in small spoonfuls (using a scooper is helpful) onto greased cookie sheets and bake 11-15 minutes, until tops are firm and bottoms are very lightly browned.

Makes about 30 cookies
