ingredients

4 egg whites (*)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sea salt, unrefined**
2 tablespoons real vanilla, extract***
2 tablespoons arrowroot, powder****
¹⁄₂ cup maple syrup (pref. Grade B)
2 cups unsweetened coconut, small flake******

directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter parchment paper or cut up brown paper grocery bags and butter the side without printing.
Save the yolks from the eggs to add to french toast or your pet's food.
Beat whites until stiff peaks form- beat in salt, vanilla and arrowroot powder-
Fold in maple syrup- fold in coconut.
Drop in spoonfuls onto parchment paper covered cookie sheets.
Bake for 45 min to an hour, depending on what sweetener you used (honey will brown faster) cookies should be dry and barely touched with golden brown. Let cool completely before removing from paper.
Makes ~ 2 dozen, depending on how many you eat before you count them and how big you make the cookies!

food stores.
