Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup flour (can use gluten-free)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut (fine)
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut (wide)
- 4 egg whites
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Chocolate for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, salt and both kinds of coconut.
- In a double boiler or a metal bowl suspended above a pot of barely simmering water, whisk the egg whites with the sugar, molasses and vanilla until mixture warm to the touch and opaque (110 F). Remove from heat and pour over the dry ingredients. Fold to combine and set aside for 15 minutes to allow the coconut to absorb some of the liquid.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Form mixture into 1” to 1 ½” balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Rotate baking sheet halfway through cooking.
- Let cool then dip in melted chocolate.
