Altered ingredient amounts. better if cooked at 170F. (76C) for at least 2 hours or until dried out - 28 Jan 2010
Altered ingredient amounts. These were great! I doubled the recipe as I had 4 egg whites to use up. Also doubled the amount of coconut after that. They turned out perfectly. - 21 Jul 2008
These were very good, I enjoyed them a lot. I don't think I will add the almond extract next time though. - 21 Jul 2008
