Weight Watchers-Friendly Coconut Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (use in moderation to keep points low, but note it might still have some points)
  • 3 large egg whites (0 points)
  • 1/3 cup Swerve or another zero-calorie sweetener (0 points)

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix unsweetened shredded coconut with the Swerve sweetener and add the egg whites. Mix well until a smooth and slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a large star-shaped nozzle.
  4. Pipe out small individual cookies onto a prepared baking pan and bake with the fan on for around 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes:

  • Unsweetened shredded coconut typically has points, but using it in moderation can help keep the overall points low.
  • Egg whites and Swerve sweetener are zero points.

Points Calculation:

Servings and Points per Serving:

If you divide this recipe into 35 small cookies:

  • Total points: 35 points
  • Points per cookie: 35 points / 35 cookies = 1 point per cookie

Summary:

While it’s challenging to make these cookies completely zero points due to the shredded coconut, this version can significantly lower the points compared to the original recipe. Each cookie will be approximately 1 point if you make 35 cookies. Enjoy this lighter, more Weight Watchers-friendly version of coconut cookies!
