Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Additional Time 5 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I prefer organic or homemade)
  • 2 large egg whites, should be room temperature (the eggs are easier to crack when cold)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers (I prefer Ghirardelli Chocolate)
  • sea salt crystals (I prefer Mediterranean Cyprus sea salt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and gather your ingredients.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add coconut flakes, condensed milk, cocoa powder, espresso powder, vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, add egg whites and kosher salt. Whip egg whites and the 1/4 tsp Kosher salt on high speed until they are medium to firm.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut flake mixture until combined.
  6. Using a medium cookie school (1 1/2 teaspoon), scoop the mixture onto a prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden (30 minutes works for us if they are made medium size using a medium size cookie scoop.)
  8. Allow to cool on a wire cooling rack until completely cool.
  9. Optional: Melt dark chocolate melting wafers in the microwave at 30 second intervals until fully melted, stirring in between.​
  10. Dip the cookies in the dark chocolate and allow to cool on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Sprinkle with sea salt crystals. Put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
