Meringue Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 egg whites
1 c. sugar
1 pkg. dates
2 Tbsp. flour
2 c. pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. coconut (optional)

Preparation

Beat egg whites stiff; add sugar.
Fold in the floured dates, nuts, vanilla and coconut (if using it). Drop on cookie sheet covered with wax paper, using a teaspoon. Bake at 325\u00b0 until delicately browned.
The coconut makes the cookie quite moist and it adds flavor, but it is not necessary to make a good cookie.
