Equipment

Ingredients

8 oz unsweetened shredded coconut about 2 packages of 200g
2 egg whites about 2 oz.
14 oz condensed milk 1 small can
¼ tsp salt
¼ cups coconut flour optional (add more shredded coconut if omitted)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix all ingredients in one mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
8 oz unsweetened shredded coconut, 2 egg whites, 14 oz condensed milk, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ cups coconut flour
If the mixture is too wet add a little more shredded coconut so it will stick together without coming apart.
With a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll into balls and place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. You can also use a 1½ tbsp scoop. If the cookie come apart a little when using a scooper, just use wet fingers to put them back together again in to a ball.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, in the middle of the oven, until the tops get a little toasty. Be careful not to leave in too long as the bottoms may burn or get very dark.

Notes

Top Tips

Use unsweetened shredded coconut because the condensed milk is already sweet enough.

Use a cookie scoop for even size.

Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

Watch the baking time to avoid burning the bottom of the cookies.

Cool completely before removing from baking tray.
