Hazelnut Macaroons image

These traditional German cookies are very easy to make and taste delicious. They are also rather light for a cookie, so you can enjoy a few more. ;) If you feel like it, try out other nuts in place of hazelnuts or maybe grated coconut.

Yield 15 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

100 g sugar
100 g hazelnuts, ground (or other ground nuts or desiccated coconut)
2 egg whites
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a tall bowl beat egg whites with the pinch of salt until nearly stiff (soft peaks).
  • Add the sugar in a steady stream while continuing to beat. Beat until thick and glossy.
  • Fold in the ground nuts using a rubber spatula or a tabelspoon.
  • Drop macaroons by tbs onto a paper-lined cookie sheet leaving some space in between as they will spread.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 150°C/300°F for about 20 minutes or until set, but still softish in the centre.
  • Leave on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy! :).
  • Note: These cookies keep some 2-3 weeks in cookie tins, but they will harden over time and then turn soft again.
