1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. In
large mixing bowl beat egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt with electric
mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a
time, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold in coconut.
2. Using an ice cream scoop with 2-inch bowl (or scant 1/4-cup measure), drop coconut mixture in mounds on prepared cookie sheets. Place on separate racks in oven. Bake 20 minutes. Turn off oven; let cookies dry in oven 30 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes 28 cookies.
3. For small cookies drop dough by teaspoons. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand and cool as above. Makes 60 cookies.
4. Store in airtight container in single layer at room temperature up to 3 days. Freeze up to 3 months.

2/6/2010 05:59:08 PM Report AbuseTried these. They were awful! I was going to give these too my neighbors, but through them out instead. Maybe because I doubled the recipe?
12/22/2009 01:15:29 PM Report AbuseI also make these every year, from the better homes & garden mag ,april 2001. i prefer the 2 types of coconut, sweetened & unsweetened. Also the sugar is 1cup in that recipe.,& not the 30 mim drying time. Afew other differences ,so I won't be changing, we did you?
12/21/2009 04:46:09 PM Report AbuseI make these every year and my recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar.
11/21/2009 07:25:21 PM Report AbuseI'm wondering if the sugar should be 1/3 cup instead of 1 1/3 cup. They were sickening sweet and will probably end up in the garbage. Checked on-line for other recipes and none had this amount of sugar.
