These are the best macaroons.  They are so easy to make too.

2/3 cup Xylitol  (you can use 2/3 cup sugar)

1/4 tsp salt

2-3/4 cup organic unsweetened coconut flakes

4 egg whites. I use the liquid egg whites to make it go faster.

1 tsp almond extract (I use 10 drops of food grade orange essential oil)

Option 2 Chocolate Macaroons: Melt chocolate chips and mix into the coconut.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
