🥣 Instructions:
-
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
-
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites on low speed using a mixer.
-
Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat. You can use powdered sugar if preferred.
-
Add the vanilla and increase the speed to maximum. Beat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes white and smooth.
-
Fold in half of the shredded coconut with a silicone spatula. Then add the rest and continue mixing.
💡 Tip: If your coconut is coarsely shredded, pulse it briefly in a blender to break it down.
-
The dough will seem crumbly but should easily hold shape when pressed.
-
Take a small round mold (like a salt cellar), line it with plastic wrap, and pack it with the coconut mixture.
-
Flip the mold over onto a baking tray lined with parchment. Pull the edges of the plastic to release the shaped dough.
-
Repeat until all cookies are formed.
🔥 Bake:
-
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
-
Bake for no more than 20 minutes — they should turn lightly golden but still remain pale. The bottoms should not burn.
🎉 Serving:
-
Optionally dust with powdered sugar for decoration.
-
Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy with tea or coffee.
🍪 These cookies are light, flourless, butter-free, and absolutely delicious — a tropical treat!
