Provided by Nicole S

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup Nutella

Steps:

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add vanilla and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold in confectioners' sugar. Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; insert a #96 star tip. Transfer meringue to the bag. Pipe 1-1/2-in.-diameter cookies 2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 225° for 45-50 minutes or until firm to the touch. Turn oven off (do not open oven door); leave meringues in oven for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from the oven; cool completely on baking sheets. Remove meringues from paper. Spread Nutella on the bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Store in airtight containers at room temperature. Yield: about 3 dozen.
