Keto Coconut Macaroons

Dr Karl and I have always loved macaroons.

I used to make them often before we began our Keto journey.

I decided to ketofy them and make some.

I used xylotol since that and stevia are the only sweeteners we can tolerate, but you can use whatever keto sweetener you like.

They are so good and addictive!

Notes

If you have dogs - you may not want to use xylitol as it can be deadly.
If you have cats - be very careful and do not let your cats eat anything with xylitol.
You may need 3-4 egg whites depending on the size of your eggs.  Make sure the mixture is a little wet and not dry or the cookies will crumble
You can use any extract you like - I happen to like almond
Make sure the flaked coconut is unsweetened - you may have to look a little as it is not the most common form of coconut.
