Coquitos (Coconut Macaroons)

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 250 g desiccated coconut
• 200 g white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp water (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
3. If your paste is too thick to pipe with a large piping tip, then add the water, and keep adding one tablespoon of water at a time until you get a consistency you can pipe. If your eggs are extra large, you may not need the extra water.
4. Pipe dollops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake in a medium to hot oven for 30 minutes or until done.
