Ingredients
- 2 large egg white
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup hazelnut roasted; finely chopped
*Place nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking / cookie sheet. Bake in a pre-heated oven, 5 to 8 minutes or until they are golden brown, remove immediately from the pan to clean bowl to cool. Then finely chop in a blender or food processor.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 300F (150C). Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment or an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks appear.
- Add the sugar and salt and beat to combine with the flat beaters. Fold in the finely chopped nuts.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium pot and cook on medium-low heat, with a wooden spoon stir the mixture continuously for approximately 10-15 minutes. The mixture is ready when it becomes a light brown color and has thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and place heaping tablespoons on the prepared baking sheet. Be careful the mixture is hot.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet 5-10 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- In Italy the traditional recipe is made with hazelnuts but if you prefer you could substitute with almonds or walnuts.
- Sometimes the cookies are drizzled with melted chocolate or you can serve them plain. Either way they are very good.
- The cookies should be stored in an airtight container, placing parchment paper between the layer is a good idea so they don't stick. They will keep for up to 6-7 days at room temperature. Properly stored and they won't loose their flavour or crispiness.
- Freeze the cookies in a freezer container, be careful because they are a bit fragile. Separating the layers with parchment paper is a good idea. They will keep for 2-3 months in the freezer.
