CLOTHESPIN COOKIES image

A dear friend shared this with me last night,she said they were made when she was a little girl..and more like a pastry then a cookie... she is 83 yrs young.. I've not tried it..but she is a darned good baker and trust her judgment... she also said she drizzles melted chocolate over cookie... she uses round clothes pins wrapped...

I love the way these cookies look. They're so delicate and elegant. I'm sure they taste just as good as they look.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after I make a cake or pie, and these cookies are a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not sure why these cookies are called clothespin cookies. They don't look anything like clothespins.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really liked these cookies. The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I had a hard time getting the dough to come together. I ended up adding a little more flour and then it was fine.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I've been making clothespin cookies for years and they're always a favorite. They're so versatile, you can add different nuts, fruits, or spices to change up the flavor.
