Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut. (I buy mine from Whole Foods bulk section.)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Splenda powder
- 1 3/4 tablespoon DaVinci Amaretto sugar free syrup (you can use other flavors if you don't have this one)
- 3/4 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 medium egg whites
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix ingredients together in a bowl in order given.
-
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet. These do not spread out so you can put them close together. I usually make 24 from this recipe.
-
Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Edges of cookies should be light brown.
-
Remove from cookie sheet immediately.
