1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue beating. Fold in coconut flakes with a spatula.
3. Use 2 teaspoons to place little mounds of coconut mixture 2 inches apart onto the baking sheets.
