IRISH KISSES

 

These Irish Recipes I got off the web :)

 

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

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Place the eggs whites in a   glass mixing bowl with salt

 Beat until the whites are stiff.

Slowly add 1 cup of sugar and the salt beating constantly.

 Mix in food coloring, almond extract and  coconut using a slow deliberate mix to avoid deflating  the mixture.

 Drop the mixture from a teaspoon onto a greased and

well- floured baking sheet.

 Bake about 30 minutes.

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