Potuck Dessert Recipe
Someone was looking for a dessert that they could take and eat at a
gathering. I found this one at the Atkins site. I think a serving is
1 macaroon and it has 1 gram of carbs…
Coconut Macaroons
If you like your macaroons crisp, eat them hot out of the oven. If
you prefer them chewy, make a day ahread.
Oil spray for greasing baking sheets
4 egg whites, at room temperature
2/3 cups granular sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups grated unsweetened coconut (about 5.5 ounces)
metric
1. Heat oven to 325°F. Spray two baking sheets with oil spray.
2. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites until
medium peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar substitute, vanilla
extract and salt. Turn speed up to high and continue beating until
stiff (but not dry) peaks form.
3. Using a rubber spatula, fold in coconut. Drop tablespoon-sized
mounds of mixture onto prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 1 minute before carefully
transfering to wire racks to cool completely.
