Fleur’s Kisses

submitted by Chelikins

40 minutes

20-24

3 egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
2 drops red food coloring
1 tsp almond extract
1 1/4 cups shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 300 °F.

Place the egg whites in a glass mixing bowl with the salt.

Beat until the whites are stiff and slowly add 1 cup of sugar, beating constantly.

Gently fold in the red food coloring, extract and coconut.

Do this very slowly to avoid deflating the mixture.

Drop the mixture from a teaspoon onto a greased and well floured baking sheet (I use ungreased parchment paper).

Bake about 30 minutes.

Turn the oven off and let the kisses sit in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
