Coconut Cookies


Torticas de Coco – Coconut Cookies

By Three Guys From Miami



Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Yield: 3 dozen

Chewy coconut cookies with a corn flake crunch.

INGREDIENTS:

2 egg whites
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 cups corn flakes
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325ºF.

Beat the egg whites until creamy. Add the sugar little by little and follow with the rest of the ingredients until all is well mixed.

Drop by teaspoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet immediately after they come out of the oven.

Note: Sometimes I drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies.
