Chocolate Crisps

Directions

Preheat oven to 425℉ (220℃) (220 C).

Grease several baking sheets with butter.

In a medium-size bowl beat ¼ cup butter with powdered sugar until creamy; beat in vanilla.

Gradually beat in egg whites. Fold in flour, then 2 tablespoons melted (cooled) butter.

Drop small teaspoonfuls of mixture onto prepared baking sheets, spacing well apart; flatten each teaspoonful slightly.

Bake about 8 minutes or until lightly browned around edges.

Using a spatula, immediately remove cookies from baking sheet to a wire rack; cool.

Melt chocolate in a small bowl placed over a pan of hot, but not boiling water.

When cookies are cool, spread each one with a thin layer of melted chocolate; allow chocolate to set slightly then sprinkle with coconut.

Place in a cool place until chocolate sets completely.
