Coconut Macaroons

Another recipe to go nuts over! Read more about the benefits of coconut:  http://gymjunkie-katie.blogspot.com/2011/07/behold-power-of-coconut.html.

This recipe could not be easier, or more delicious! They're not as gooey as traditional macaroons, but the coconut flavor is amazing. At only 86 calories each, they're the perfect sweet treat. I double the recipe, as this one makes only 10 macaroons. Courtesy of The Biggest Loser Dessert cookbook - a MUST have!

Cooking spray
2 large egg whites
2 T coconut sugar (found at Whole Foods)
2 T light agave
2/3 C finely shredded reduced fat unsweetened coconut (I used "Let's Do...Organic" 40% less fat coconut; found at Whole Foods)

Directions:  Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly mist with spray. 

Whisk together egg whites, coconut sugar and agave until sugar is dissolved. Sit in coconut until well combined. Spoon batter in mounds - about 1 T each - onto prepared pan so they're not touching to make 10 macaroons. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove, cool completely, store in resealable container for up to 5 days.
