Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz package (396g) sweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup (80g) finely chopped macadamia nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed. Slowly add granulated sugar over 3-4 minutes. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form (about 4-5 minutes more).
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined. Scoop 1.5 tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave at 50% power in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  • Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops. Sprinkle with chopped macadamia nuts. Let the chocolate set before serving.
