For the Chocolate Drizzle (optional)

Prepare the Mixture
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, egg whites, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Shape and Bake
  1. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Cool and Drizzle
