Coconut Cookies

A sweet treat!




Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups almond meal
1/2 cup castor sugar
1/3 cup rice flour (sifted)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 tbs virgin coconut oil
2 eggs, separated

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
2. Place the almond meal, castor sugar, rice flour, coconut and coconut oil in a medium bowl and mix until well combined.
3. In a new bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (I used a hand held beater as my electric mixer didn't reach the bottom of the bowl!).
4. Fold egg whites gently into dry ingredients. Combine well.
5. Mix egg yolks into mixture.
6. Place teaspoon size amounts onto a tray lined with baking paper, approximately 2cm apart.
7. Cook for 20 - 30min, or until golden brown.
8. Leave on the tray for 5min, then allow to cool on a wire rack.

*These can be separated into individual zip lock bags and frozen for school lunch boxes*
