-
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form, creating a glossy and frothy mixture.
Add the coconut and gently fold the shredded coconut into the beaten egg whites,
mixing from bottom to top to keep the mixture airy.
Using a teaspoon or piping bag, place small mounds of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden. The cookies should remain soft inside.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Tips and Storage
For even softer cookies, do not overbake them: they should only be lightly golden.
You can add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for an extra aroma.
If you want, you can dip half of the cookie in melted chocolate for a decadent version.
Storage:
Coconut cookies stay soft for 2-3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
They can be frozen once baked, just thaw them at room temperature before enjoying.
