Fun and festive Weet-Bix™ and coconut trees will be a hit with all your holiday guests!

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea sal
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Weet-Bix™, finely crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut, unsweetened

To decorate (optional)

  • Icing sugar
  • 100g dark chocolate, melted
  • glace cherries

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a flat tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, whisk egg whites, sugar, salt and vanilla until frothy – about 30 seconds. Add Weet-Bix™ and coconut to egg white mixture and stir well.

  3. Step 3

    Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared tray. Leave as mounds, or use wet fingers to pinch tops into tree shapes.

  4. Step 4

    Bake 8–10 minutes until golden. Cool on tray 5 mins then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

  5. Step 5

    For a special touch, dust with icing sugar or melt dark chocolate and drizzle over cooled cookies. Top with a piece of glace cherry before the chocolate sets.

Tips

  • To melt chocolate, place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and microwave in 10 second bursts, stirring each time, until nearly melted. Stir well to help melt any remaining pieces. If the chocolate re-sets as you’re using it, repeat the process.
