Coconut Mountains

These coconut cookies very much remind me of store bought coconut macaroons. Tasty, and very easy to make.

Ingredients:

Baking sheet

Parchment paper 

For the batter:

2 eggs

1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ground coriander and ground cardamom (optional)

150 g sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 package vanilla sugar 

300 g shredded coconut 

Optional:

Semisweet chocolate for decorating 

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 F).

2. Whisk eggs, spices, sugar and vanilla extract or vanilla sugar for 2 minutes on high with an electric hand mixer. Stir in shredded coconut on lower setting.

3. Using two teaspoons form little coconut mountains on parchment paper. Bake cookies for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

4. Remove cookies from oven, remove with parchment paper from baking sheet, and let cool on parchment paper.

5. Melt some semisweet chocolate and sprinkle some over the coconut mountains or glaze the bottom 1/3 with chocolate.
