Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla and mix well.
In a small bowl using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold stiff peaks.
Carefully fold the egg whites and salt into the coconut mixture.
Using a cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden brown. Cool and serve.
