       Makes ~60-80, depending on the size you make them.
       
       - Ingredients
           + 7-8 egg whites
               * Note: I don't think the size of the eggs matters as much
                 here as for the chocolate and hazelnut macaroons, but I
                 haven't experimented much yet.
           + 500g sugar
           + 500g grated coconut
           + 30mL lemon juice
           + Lemon zest from one lemon
       - Instructions
           + Beat egg whites until stiff.
           + Stir in sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
           + Stir in coconut flakes.

           + Form small heaps on a tray using two teaspoons.
             The dough is very brittle, so this part is a bit annoying.

           + Bake on middle rung at 180 C for ~10-15 minutes.
           + Notes
               * Some people like to put the macaroons on wafer papers, but
                 I'm not a big fan of those.
               * The coconut flakes I buy here are fairly coarse, causing the
                 dough to become very brittle. If you have a coffee/spice grinder,
                 you can grind them again in order to make a better dough:
