Before After

Making better choices over high fat cookies :)

Coconut Macaroons (serves 12  -  Points 2

2 large egg whites

pinch salt

1/3 cup sugar (i have used splenda)

1 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

3 TBSP Flour

6 maraschino cherries, halved

350 oven ...Beat egg whites and salt to soft peaks, then gradually add sugar and beat until peaks are stiff, beat in vanilla.  With a wooden spoon stir in half of the coconut, then sprinkle in flour, stir, then fold in the remaining coconut.  Scoop 12 mounds a couple of inches apart on baking sheet.  Add the cherry then bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.   Very pretty and tasty.  Enjoy!

Hey! Thanks for the comment!

Looks like your doing good - I know that I only really felt like I was actually 'losing' weight until I hit anything over 10 pounds. I guess till then I always thought - "Eh, I could have just drank a bunch of water before the last time I weighed in." ;)

I'm impressed that you have a low fat recipie for macaroons! They are usually killer on the calories...

Keep up the good work!

Hungry

Those cookies of yours makes me so hungry......I love coconut.  My problem????? I never know how to stop with one.

Loved the story about wogging & blogging.......catchy story there.

When I first started pushing myself further I felt so elated just like you are feeling.  My first crossover was slogging.....slow jogging.  I love all the different names we can come up with.

Keep up the awesome job you are doing.  Sending blessings and good vibes to you for success.   Chargail

Oh my gosh..

that looks so tasty!! Do you think I could add some cocao powder to it and make it chocolatey? Now that would be heaven..mmm....

Is it 2 points per 1 cookie or for all 12?! haha...aww..I bet it's only for 1, but at least i tried

Good Idea

I am not much of a baker but my husband is. I will definately have him make some!

I think I'm going to have to steal this for friday night.  My sister, mom and I are doing our annual "Cookie night"  Each one of us brings a dough and with this being only two points You definitly caught my eye! lol

DO you have any others to share?

Happy Holidays!
