Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
3/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons virgin coconut or extra-virgin olive oil, melted
2 large egg whites
2/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss pecans, almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, oats, salt, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until coconut is golden and mixture is fragrant, 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, whisking until mixture is thick and opaque. Add nut mixture and fold to coat evenly.
  • Drop 1/4-cupfuls of mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing evenly (if your baking sheets are small, you might have to use 2). Bake cookies, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until edges are golden, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cookies can be baked 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
