I have made these several times for work parties, baby showers, or just because I have that craving for something sweet. The nice thing about this recipe is that it is very easy to do and very fast, and are good dipped in milk chocolate (as shown) or dark and white as well.

Ingredients

* 14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
* 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 2 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.

Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using either a 1 3/4-inch diameter ice cream scoop, or two teaspoons. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and serve.
