Hickory-Nut Macaroons

Beat up the whites of three eggs until stiff, add slowly one cup of sifted granulated sugar, or powdered sugar and one cupful of hickory-nut meats chopped fine, and rolled. Bake slowly in a moderate oven until a light brown. If desired these can be flavored with a little vanilla, about a half teaspoonful. All macaroons should be dropped by spoonfuls on greased paper.
