• In a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the sugar, eggs, and egg whites on high speed until pale and thick enough to form a ribbon when you lift the beater and let the mixture fall back on itself. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the jasmine extract, salt, and flour, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Stir in the coconut flakes just until evenly distributed (the batter will be thick). Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a moistened rubber spatula.

• Remove from the smoker and let cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve. The bars can kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
