Steps
1. The ingredients are so simple. Just these make delicious cookies.
80g shredded coconut, 2 tbsp sugar, and the white of 1 egg—this is from a large egg.
If they are small, you will probably need one and a half. Add 1 tbsp honey or corn syrup (mulyeot) so the ingredients bind together well.
2. Add the sugar little by little to the egg whites while stirring with a whisk.
It is ready once the sugar has completely dissolved and foam forms.
3. Add the coconut to the foamy egg white...
4. Mix evenly.
I added about 1 tbsp of honey here (if you used more egg white than I did, you can skip this).
5. Shape into round balls. Wearing gloves keeps it from sticking, which works nicely.
6. Bake in the oven at 170 °C for about 20-25 minutes.
7. Once baked to a nice brown color, let them cool.

FAQ
How much egg white should I add if the eggs are small?
If using small eggs, it is best to use about 1 1/2 egg whites.
Can I use another ingredient instead of honey?
You can use 1 tbsp of corn syrup (mulyeot) instead of honey to help the dough bind, or you can omit it if you already have plenty of egg white.
Is there a trick to shaping the dough without it sticking to your hands?
If you wear disposable gloves while shaping them into balls, the dough will not stick, making it much easier to shape.
How long should they be baked in the oven?
Bake in an oven preheated to 170 °C for about 20-25 minutes, then take them out to cool once the surface turns a nice brown color.
