Here is what you need:
1 bag of shredded, sweetened coconut (I used a 14 oz bag)
1/2 cup sugar
6 TBSP flour
4 egg whites
2 tsp vanilla
zest from 1 lemon
splash of lemon juice
Chocolate chips
In one bowl, mix together the coconut, sugar and flour.
Add egg whites and vanilla. (the eggs only look yellow in this picture because of the lighting. Just use the egg whites!!!)
Add the lemon zest and juice. If you don't want lemon, then don't. This recipe actually doesn't call for lemon at all, but I love chocolate and lemon, so I added it.
With a spatula, mix in chocolate chips. The recipe says for 1/2 cup, but I doubt I'm the only one that just dumps the bag in and then says, "okay, that looks like too many, so we're good."
Scoop 'em out onto a cookie sheet and back for about 10 - 15 minutes until the tops and edges are brown and crispy yummy. The smaller the cookie, the less time you want to bake them for.
ENJOY
