In large bowl combine flaked and shredded coconut until evenly mixed. In a medium mixing bowl combine sugar, flour and salt. Add egg whites, honey and vanilla extract. Whisk rapidly until smooth. Pour sugar and egg white mixture over coconut mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon. Use hands and continue to blend until evenly mixed. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet with baking parchment.
