1: Heat oven to 325 F. Grease 2 baking sheets and dust with bake mix.
2: With an electric mixer, whip egg whites on low until medium peaks form; gradually beat in sugar substitute and extract; continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3:Fold in coconut. Drop mixture by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Shape into little mounds with wet fingertips.
4: Bake 12 minutes; cool on sheets 1 minute, then carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
