  • 4 egg whites
  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar

Notes

Vanilla sugar is made by mixing vanilla seeds with sugar -- a common practice in Europe. When I made these cookies, I used a teaspoon of sugar and about 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla.
