crunchy gooey cocoa-nut meringues

These super easy cookies whip up fast and are an oxymoronic delight - hard crispy shell with warm gooey centres!  Yum.

• 1 c. sugar
• 3 egg whites
• 2 tsp water
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp cocoa
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut - I use the sweetened stuff

Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry.  Whip in half the sugar.  Slowly whip in water and vanilla with the remainder of the sugar.  Fold in gently cocoa and coconut.  Drop by the spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees  until shell is hard and cracked but middle is soft.  Serve warm but also good at room temp.
