Blackberry Macaroons

In looking through a cookbook, I ran across this recipe and it seemed like a good little snack.  The Weight Watcher's points are low (1 pt. each) and the carbs are only 5 grams.  All in all, a good snack.  Only problem is I am the only one who likes them, so all those low points aren't good if you're eating 4 or 5 at a time!  Hmmmm...

Ingredients
1 package (14 ounces) sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup blackberries

1.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper

2.  Combine coconut, flour, sugar, egg whites and almond extract in food processor or blender (I used my stand mixer).  Process until combined and move to mixing bowl

3.  Gently mash blackberries in small bowl (some chunks may remain). Fold blackberries into coconut mixture, just until combined. (do not over mix)

4.  Shape mixture into 1/2 inch balls, place on prepared baking sheet.

5.  Bake 25-27 minutes or until set.  Remove to wire racks and cool completely.
