Print: Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies

These soft Italian coconut cookies are a hit at any get-together. I've made them gluten free, but you can use the same amount of all-purpose wheat flour instead of gluten-free flour. There are many variations of this cookie in Italy. Some people add chocolate chips and some drizzle dark chocolate over them once cooled.

Ingredients

3 eggs whites
0.75 cups white sugar
2.5 cups shredded coconut , divided
0.25 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Beat together egg whites and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups shredded coconut and gluten-free flour slowly until combined into a dough.
3 Shape dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll balls in remaining 1/2 cup shredded coconut until evenly coated and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
