Equipment

1 Kitchen Aid stand mixer or
1 electric hand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup toasted whole hazelnuts as garnish
  • 1.5 cups ground hazelnuts 160 grams
  • ⅔ cups white sugar 165 grams
  • 2 egg whites

Instructions
 

  • Whip the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the ground hazelnuts to the whipped meringue,folding under the ground nuts until evenly distributed.
  • Using a 1 tablespoon measure, scoop out globs of the batter and drop them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them sit for a minute or two, to slightly spread and form even, round circles.
  • Top each cookie with a toasted hazelnut as garnish.
  • Bake the hazelnut meringue cookies at 325F for 15 to 20 minutes or until you can lift a cookie off the sheet without the middle starting to sag down. Cool the cookies on a wire rack to prevent them from going soggy.
