With a flavor somewhere between a classic American macaroon and a Mexican street snack, these lightly spicy coconut cookies are adapted from Kyra Bussanich's Sweet Cravings.
Ingredients
- 4 3⁄4 cups desiccated coconut
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1⁄2 tbsp. coconut flour
- 1 tbsp. grated lime zest
- 3⁄4 tsp. cayenne
- 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 8 egg whites
Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°. Whisk coconut, sugar, coconut flour, zest, cayenne, and salt in a bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk honey, vanilla, and egg whites until smooth; fold into coconut mixture until combined. Using a 1-oz. scoop or 2 tablespoons, drop cookies onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spaced about 2" apart. Bake until golden brown, about 13 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before serving.
