This recipe is super easy, anyone can make it and that is why it is perfect for the kids to help with. First, scoop and pour the coconut into the bowl, then add the can of sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Then mix it all together until it is well combined then set aside.

Now get out your mixer and your room temperature eggs. Crack the eggs whites into the mixer making sure that you do NOT get any yolk in them or medium peeks won’t form. Add your salt to the whites then mix on high until medium peaks form. Next, add the fluffy whipped egg whites to the coconut mixture that you set aside and gently fold in the egg whites.

After you are cooked all your delicious cookies wait for them to cool completely. Once they are cooled melt your chocolate chips following the instructions in the recipe below.
