Kokosmakroner - Coconut Macaroons

So the flat has had its Winter clean, and I have just finished making the first two out of my "seven kinds" of christmas biscuits. I will post the first one up here now, I hope you enjoy!

Kokosmakroner - Coconut Macaroons
(Makes 40, about 65 calories each)

4 egg whites
200 g sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla sugar OR 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
280 g dessicated coconut

- Whisk the egg whites along with the sugar and vanilla until it's nice and airy, then fold in the dessicated coconut.

- Pre-heat oven to 175°C. On a baking paper clad tray, use two teaspoons and shape little balls out of the coconut mixture. Place about 2 cm apart from each other as they do get a bit bigger in the oven as they bake.

- Sit them in the middle of the oven, and bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden. Leave to cool for a little while before transferring to a cooling rack.
