Servings 20 -23 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 oz. 396 g bag sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 14 oz. 397 g can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites (at room temperature)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven at 325ºF (163ºC).
  • In a large bowl, mix the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla extract.
  • Clean a separate bowl and whisk with a paper towel soaked in vinegar. This will remove any grease they may have.
  • Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl and whisk at high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold in the egg whites with the coconut mixture until everything is well incorporated.
  • Form small balls with the mixture using a 1½ inch (3.75 cm) ice cream scooper and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also use two spoons to form the cookies. Leave a 1 inch (2.50 cm) space between the cookies and bake the for 20-30 minutes or until they're golden brown. Let them cool before serving.
