Recipe information

  • Yield

    12 cookies

Ingredients

1 whole egg
1 egg white
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 cup sliced almonds, slightly crushed
3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Add the cocoa powder and whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth. Stir in the almonds and coconut until well combined. Use a mini ice cream scoop or spoon to drop 12 tablespoon-size mounds onto the baking sheet. Bake until they begin to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
