Instructions

Heat oven to 325°F (163°C); line baking trays with parchment.
Stir coconut, sweetened condensed milk, salt and all flavor additions until evenly coated.
In a clean bowl beat egg whites to soft peaks; fold gently into the coconut mixture.
Scoop 24 compact mounds with a small ice-cream scoop; press loose flakes into each mound.
Bake 19–23 minutes until tips and bottoms are gold; check centers are set rather than wet/raw.
Cool fully on parchment before storage; sticky centers will firm as they cool.

Tips

Drying and room humidity strongly affect this recipe: pack airtight only when completely cool.
Use clean tools; traces of fat reduce egg-white foam volume.
