Ingredients
>
2 egg whites
>
1/8 tsp salt
>
1/2 tsp baking powder
>
1/2 cup sugar
>
1 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
>
2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer for about 1 min., or until frothy. With the mixer on low, add the baking powder and gradually add the sugar.

Continue to mix until glossy, firm peaks appear. Gently fold the grated coconut into the egg mixture. Using a tablespoon, spoon the batter into rounded balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced an inch or two apart. Bake for 15 min., or until golden brown and cooked through.

Let the cookies cool. When ready to serve, dust with confectioners sugar.
