Coconut Lime Macaroons

I came home from a month away to find that my husband bought me the latest "Holiday Cookie Collection" (2010) from Canadian Living.  Some of you may say "excuse me?" but to me, this is a great gift as I love to try new baking.

This recipe is from page 21.  Coconut and lime - pretty awesome!

INGREDIENTS:

2 egg whites 1/4 tsp cream of tarter pinch salt 3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 cups sweetened shredded coconut 1 tsp finely grated lime rind juice from the grated lime

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325F. Beat egg whites until foamy, add cream of tarter and salt until soft peaks have begun to form. Add sugar, two tablespoons at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the coconut and lime. Drop large tablespoons of mix onto lined pan. Bake for 16 minutes, until light golden brown. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
