Another gluten-free and very easy to make cookie, that everyone loves, well everyone that loves coconut at least. It's easy to make and naturally gluten-free because you don't need any flour at all.



Here is what you need:



3 egg whites

3 sprinkles of salt

150 g / 5 oz fine sugar

250 g / 7.5 oz shredded coconut

1 Lemon, zest only



Chocolate for drizzling (optional)



Start by whipping the egg whites and the salt until stiff, add half the sugar and keep whipping, then fold in the remaining sugar.





Prepare two baking sheets and line them with parchment paper. Then start folding in the shredded coconut and the lemon zest until everything is well combined.



Take two tablespoons and make little mounds of the batter and drop them on the prepared baking sheets. Let them dry on the baking sheets for a few hours or best over night, before baking them at medium heat for about 12 minutes. Remove from the baking sheets immediately.



Let them cool and drizzle or dip in chocolate if you like. And now Happy Baking!
