Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Confectioners powdered sugar for dusting trees

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white; add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon. (It's very stiff so I used my hands). Using your hands, shape into 2-inch-tall trees, using your fingertips to make pointed tops. Place about 1 1/2" apart on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until trees are firm and lightly browned. Cool in pan on a wire cooling rack for at least 30 minutes. (I trimmed edges with a small, sharp paring knife). Just before serving time, sift confectioners sugar over the top of trees.

Yield Makes about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
3 to 4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine sugar, coconut, 3 egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Using your hands, mix well, completely combining ingredients. The additional egg white may be added, a little at a time, if the mixture is dry and doesn't hold together.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons to form mounds; place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Dampen your hands with water if necessary, and pinch mounds to create a pyramid shape.
  • Bake until golden brown, rotating halfway through, 16 to 17 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
