4 large egg whites
1 c granulated white sugar
1/4 t salt
1 t pure vanilla extract
1/2 c cake flour
2 1/2 c sweetened coconut
preheat oven to 325 degrees.
in top part of double boiler, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and salt. when this mixture is warm to the touch, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, flour, and coconut. cover and refrigerate (about one hour) or until the dough is firm.
place small mounds (about 1 tablespoon) of the dough on greased (or parchment lined) baking sheet, spacing several inches apart. bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool.
for chocolate: melt semi-sweet chocolate in double boiler with 1 T butter and a splash of milk. dip bottoms of cookies in chocolate, rotating the cookie, then let cool and harden overnight on parchment paper.
