Coco-Cherry Macaroons (WW)

POINTS® Value 1Servings 12Preparation Time 15 minCooking Time 15 minLevel of Difficulty Moderatedesserts Our dried-fruit-infused macaroons are a perfect mouthful of sweetness. If cherry is not your thing, give cranberries or blueberries a try.

Ingredients

2 large egg white(s), at room temperature
1/4 tsp table salt
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup dried cherries


Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper coated with cooking spray. (Note: if you do not have parchment paper, simply coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.)
Combine egg whites and salt in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer at low speed until egg whites are foamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar, increasing the mixer speed until egg whites form stiff, glossy peaks.

Fold in remaining ingredients. Drop batter by tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Yields about 2 cookies per serving.
