Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the coconut is evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until you achieve stiff peaks.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites and salt into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the Coconut Kisses are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the Coconut Kisses cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Coconut Kisses as a sweet treat or dessert!
