Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar, continuing to whisk until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then carefully fold this mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drop small mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden and crisp on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
