These are so pretty for Christmas-giving. They add so much to a cookie plate. I got the recipe from one of those little cookbooks in the grocery isle. I don't remember which one. Both cherries below are candied cherries. I typed it in that way but for some reason they would not allow me to keep the green ones candied; they changed it to glazed. That is why it reads that way. Ingredients:
4 egg whites |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup flour |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
4 cups coconut |
1/4 cup chopped candied red cherries |
1/4 cup chopped green glazed cherries (no mint) |
Directions:
1. Grease and lightly flour cookie sheet.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites till foamy.
3. Add sugar, flour, salt, and almond; blend well.
4. Stir in coconut and candied cherries.
5. Drop by scant tablespoonsfuls 2-inches apart on the cookie sheet.
6. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 13-17 minutes or till set and only lightly browned.
7. Remove immediately to rack.
