Makes about 40 cookies.

== Notes ==

Make sure you use unsweetened shredded coconut. New Leaf and Whole Foods both carry it. While you don't need sanding sugar, it does add a nice finishing touch to the macaroons. You can get sanding sugar at Chefworks, downtown. If dough gets too sticky while forming pyramids, return to the refrigerator to cool it.

== Ingredients ==

* 2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
* 4 large egg whites
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Red liquid food coloring
* White or pink sanding sugar

== Instructions ==

# Cook coconut, egg whites and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot, dry to the touch, and starts pulling away from sides of pan, about 10 minutes. Mixture will be very sticky.
# Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and 1 drop of red food coloring.
# Transfer to an airtight container and chill for at least 5 hours or overnight.
# Preheat oven to 300°.
# Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Stack prepared baking sheet on top of a second sheet (this keeps cookie bottoms from browning too quickly).
# Roll 1 teaspoon of dough into a ball.
# With your fingers, pinch the ball to form a 3-sided pyramid that ends in a point. Dip each side into sanding sugar.
# Bake cookies until lightly golden on top and slightly firm to the touch, 25-30 minutes.
# Let cool on sheet on a wire rack.

Tuckers can be made 3 days ahead. Store cookies airtight at room temperature.
