For best results, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely free of any grease or oil. A tiny amount of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Room temperature egg whites whip up to a greater volume than cold egg whites. Feel free to experiment with different types of cereal or add-ins. Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips would all be delicious additions. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare cookie sheets by lightly greasing them or lining with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a meticulously clean and dry glass or metal bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. (3-5 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the sugar while continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks form. The meringue should hold its shape well. (2-3 minutes)
04
StepGently fold in the cereal, coconut, and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the meringue. (2 minutes)
05
StepDrop by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden around the edges. (15-20 minutes)
07
StepAllow the cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheets before carefully removing them. They will crisp up as they cool. (30 minutes)
