1/2 c. egg whites
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease baking sheet or cover with parchment paper. Beat egg whites in large bowl at high speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff and glossy being careful not to underbeat. Blend in salt, vanilla flavoring and coconut. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. Bake 18 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Cool for several minutes and move to wire rack.
