Coconut Macaroons

Submitted by: June Shockley

Ingredients
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pkg. (14 oz.) sweetened flaked coconut (about 5 1/3 cups)
(Frosting Option: 1 cup choc. chips and 1 tablespoon butter and 30 almonds)

Directions
Preheat oven 350. Recipe makes about 30 cookies
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or coat generously with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk together egg whites, sugar and salt until frothy.  With a fork stir in coconut until moistened.
Drop mixture by packed level tablespoon full on prepared sheet.  Cookies will not spread.
Bake until lightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Additional Option:  I like to melt some semi-sweet chocolate chips with a little butter to make a chocolat dip.  I dip half the cookie in the chocolate and let dry.

Add an almond on top and you have an almond joy.  Yummy and pretty!
