2 - cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
4 - egg whites
1 - teaspoon vanilla extract
1 - 3.9 ounce cup Mott's unsweetened applesauce (optional. If used, use additional 1/4 cup coconut to rebalance added moisture)
Heat the oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Then separate the egg whites from the yolk using the shell. Add vanilla to the egg whites and whip until they start to stiffen.

| You should be able to see peaks when you lift your mixer. |
If using applesauce, add and mix together.
Add the egg white mixture to the coconut.Fold the wet and dry ingredients together.Using a spoon or your hand, mold into 1 - 1 1/2 inch balls, flatten and put on the cookie sheet. Leave 1-2 inches between cookies. (I used a piping bag to have more control over the size of the cookies.)Bake for about 15 minutes. They are done when the bottoms are a rich brown and the tops are just starting to tan.
This is a great healthy treat that will curve your sweet tooth. If you want just a touch of sugar then use sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened.
Enjoy!
