Coconutties

We have been on a little bit of a Despicable Me kick around our house! ABSOLUTELY love that show! :)  The other day we were playing around with extras on the DVD menu and discovered the recipes for the girl scout cookies the orphans sell in the movie!  I was MORE than excited.. and thought I would share.  As I make them I will add a picture of the real thing.


INGREDIENTS:

4 large egg whites
3 cups dried, sweetened and shredded coconut
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts, divided
1 cup white chocolate chips, divided


DIRECTIONS:

Put egg whites, coconut, sugar, vanilla and coconut extracts and flour in a large heavy pot. Mix well.  Cook on low heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly so that it does not stick.

When mixture becomes thick remove from heat and let cool, still stirring occasionally.  When mixture cools to room temperature add chopped 1/4 cup of macadamia nuts and 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips.  

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment paper lined baking sheets and bake for 12-13 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven and leave to cool completely on the baking sheets.


Once cool, melt remaining white chocolate chips in a microwave safe dish for one minute on 70% power, stir   Cook for 30 seconds more on 70% power and stir again.  Drizzle over each cookie and sprinkle with additional chopped macadamia nuts.  Enjoy.
