How To Make

To make them, mix together a bag of sweetened shredded coconut, 2 large egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (a must!). Make a hole in the middle of each mound with the end of a wooden spoon and use your fingers to pinch the mixture into a wreath shape.

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together coconut, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Drop coconut mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.

  5. 5

    Bake for about 14 to 16 minutes or until coconut begins to brown.

Notes

Note: Non Pareils and candied cherries should be fine added to the cookies before they go in the oven. If you are using large decorative sprinkles you may want to add them the last 2 minutes of baking or even right when you pull them out of the oven or they might melt.
