Date Macaroons

Beat the whites of three eggs stiff, then add gradually a half pound of powdered sugar (a dessertspoonful of cornstarch sifted through the sugar); one-half cup of finechopped nuts and one of dates, and the rind of an orange grated. Work well together gently, adding enough grated cocoanut to make stiff enough to form into balls. Very little cocoanut will be required, so it is best to add but a tablespoonful first and bake a "try-cake" as a test.
