COCONUT MACAROONS

At the moment me and my daughter are avoiding flour and levening agents
like yeast or baking soda,
so this is the perfect time for one of my favourite sweet snacks:

Coconut macaroons:

Ingredients for 10 macarrons:

1/3 cup of white sugar
1 large egg white or 2 if small
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup chopped almond or almond flour
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 pinch of salt

Warm up oven at 350F or 180C.
Wisk together sugar and egg white till thick, then stir in other ingredients.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Put a tablespoon of mixture on the baking tray and make it round and
compact using your fingers.

Bake for 15 minutes or till they are golden.
