2 2/3 c. coconut
2/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg whites
1 tsp. almond extract
1 c. chopped almonds

Combine coconut, sugar, flour, and salt in mixing bowl. Stir in egg whites and almond extract. Stir in almonds; mix well. Drop from teaspoon onto lightly greased baking sheets. Garnish with candied cherry halves, if desired. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until edges of cookies are golden brown. Remove from baking sheet immediately. When cool, try melting some chocolate chips and dip the cookies. (Almost like a Mounds bar!) Yield is 2 1/2 dozen.
