Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup Shredded Coconut Sweetened or Unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour or All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch Salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt. Try and incorporate the vanilla as much as possible into the sugar, otherwise, it tends to clump into the coconut.

  2. Add in the coconut and the flour.

  3. Add in the egg whites. Mix everything until it’s well combined and no dry spots remain. If your eggs are large, this shouldn’t be a problem. If you used smaller eggs, you may need to mix with your hands to be sure all is combined.

  4. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the batter onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Press each ball down slightly. Bake at 350F degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Do not take the cookies out too early, you want them to at least be brown around the bottoms to give them a good outside crunch. The inside will be soft!
