Ingredients:

2 egg whites
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 bag of sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup chopped pistachios
½ cup Amedei Couverture Gocce Drops Toscano Bianco White Chocolate

Preparation:

Time: 45 Minutes

Yield: 8-10 Servings

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 325˚ F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy, then whisk in the sugar, almond extract and salt. Fold in the coconut, then mix in the macadamia nuts, white chocolate chips and dried pineapple until combined.
Scoop the coconut mixture into 20 balls and arrange about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 2- to 2 1/2-inch cookie.
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
