Servings: 20
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

• 2 cups dried coconut, shredded or flaked
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together coconut, sugar, flour, zest and salt. Stir in egg whites, butter and almond extract. Fold in chocolate chips.

On parchment lined baking sheets, place rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough approximately 2″ apart. Gently roll the balls of dough for a more uniform shape.

Bake for 20 minutes or until they are firm to the touch and lightly browned on the bottom. Let cool before serving.
