Directions

Step 1

In a 1-quart glass jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: sweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Use a spoon to gently tamp down each layer to create distinct lines.

Step 4

2. Pour the contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl. Add 4 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until everything is evenly combined and forms a sticky mixture.

Step 5

3. Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and slightly set in the center.

Step 7

5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

6. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
