Coconut Macaroons
Tidbits...These decadent coconut macaroons are made with super simple ingredients that are easy to make and are a favorite at my house. The fresh coconut can be substituted with dried grated coconut with tasty results but freshly grated coconut is superior in taste and texture.
Ingredients
- Fresh coconut Grated - 1 1/2 cups
- Sugar - 1/4 cup
- Flour - 2 T
- Salt - pinch
- Eggwhites - 2 extra large eggs

Instructions
