For an extra touch of flavor, toast the coconut flakes and walnuts lightly before adding them to the meringue. Use a high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.

Step
5 mins
In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (5 minutes)
03
Step

Gradually add the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the meringue is glossy and holds its shape. (3 minutes)
04
Step

Beat in the salt and vanilla extract until just combined. (1 minute)
05

06
Step

Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
