These coconut cookies are lightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. "Sometimes I make them a bit larger so I can top them with a scoop of ice cream and some strawberry sauce," jots Herbert Borland from Des Moines, Washington.

2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
6 tablespoons sugar
