How to Make CHERRY ALMOND MACAROONS

Step-by-Step

Beat egg whites and salt in a small mixer bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until very stiff, about 4 minutes.

Stir in egg white mixture thoroughly. Mixture will be very stiff.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F. (180 C.) for 10 - 15 minutes, or until set and edges are very light golden.
