Hazelnut Cookies

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of hazelnuts, toasted and skinned 
• 1 cup of hazelnut for decorations 
• 2 cups of sugar
• 5 large egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees . Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse nuts and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Scrape into a large bowl. Beat egg whites and salt in another large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.



Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the hazelnuts mixture. Add vanilla and gently but thoroughly mix until combined. Drop the dough by the tablespoon 3 cm apart on the prepared baking sheets. Each cookie decorates with hazelnut.  Bake the cookies until golden brown, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through, 15-20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Gently transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
