Moments
Ingredients
2 cups/400 g granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/185 g
shredded/desiccated coconut
5 large egg whites grated zest of
1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract/essence
Method:
Preheat the oven
to 325°F/170°C/gas 3. Line three cookie sheets
with parchment paper.
Mix the sugar, coconut, egg
whites, lemon zest, and vanilla in a large shallow
saucepan.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
for about 5 minutes, or until creamy. Do not bring
to a boil.
Remove from the heat and let cool for 15
minutes, or until thickened for piping. Fit a
pastry bag with a 1/4-inch (5-mm) star tip.
Fill the
pastry bag, twist the opening tightly closed, and
pipe out hazelnut sized rounds, spacing 1 inch
(2.5-cm) apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake, one batch at a time, for 8-10 minutes, or
until firm to the touch and golden brown.
Cool the
cookies on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool.
