    Is it possible to make macaroons without the eggs? Can the egg be substituted with anything else to get the same taste?

    The recipe says that we have to beat the mixture first time for 30 to 35 minutes. Is it only for beating with hand or even if it is electric blender, it's the same? May I know, please. I tried to do it today. But, I did not get it in the same consistency shown.
