Ingredients

Method

In skillet, toast half of the coconut over medium-low heat, stirring often, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to plate; let cool completely.

In large bowl, beat together egg whites, sugar and cornstarch until foamy. Stir in toasted coconut and remaining coconut. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Shape by 1 tbsp into balls; arrange, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined rimless baking sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in 300°F (150°C) oven until bottoms are light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on pans. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
