Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
3 egg whites
-
1/4 cup vegetable oil
-
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
roughly chopped pistachios
Directions
-
Process coconut and sugar in a food processor until blended, about 10 seconds. Add egg whites and oil; process until well combined, about 10 seconds. Scrape down sides of processor bowl; blend 10 seconds more. Transfer coconut mixture to a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens into a paste, about 15 minutes. (Don’t let mixture simmer or boil.)
-
Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Batter will thicken as it cools.
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Transfer cooled batter to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe 1 1/2-inch circles on the parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. Lightly oil the tip of your index finger and smooth the tops of the cookies. Sprinkle with pistachios .
-
Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms and edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze up to 3 months.
