Category: Cookies

2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
2 egg whites, beaten
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

In a large bowl, combine the coconut, macadamia nuts, sugar, cocoa, flour and salt. Add the egg whites, corn syrup and vanilla and mix well.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes or until set and dry to the touch. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

In a microwave, melt chocolate; stir until smooth. Dip the bottom of each cookie in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
