Room-temperature egg whites whip better and give more volume. Gently fold eggwhites into other ingredients. Bake on parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days (but they won’t last that long). These Meringue Coconut Corflake Cookies also freeze well.

Personal Note:

I discovered this recipe in my mom’s old recipe box. She made them over 50 years ago and I remembered liking them. So I pulled out the recipe and gave them a try. They are simply amazing. Chewey, flavorful coconut in sweet meringue with cornflakes for a delightful crunch. If you love coconut, you will love these cookies.
