Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites and vanilla extract until frothy.
Pour the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and any remaining shredded coconut.
Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
