Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease two large baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.

02

Step
7 mins

In a large, clean, and dry bowl, using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until they form frothy peaks. Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the chopped almonds and hazelnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the meringue mixture.

04

Step
10 mins

Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and turns a light beige color. Be patient, this may take around 8-10 minutes. Ensure the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

05

Step
2 mins

Drop the cookie dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.

06

Step
25 mins

Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies are dry to the touch and lightly golden around the edges. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

07

Step
5 mins

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the best flavor, toast the hazelnuts and almonds lightly before chopping. This will enhance their nutty aroma and add a depth of flavor to the cookies. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature for optimal volume when beating. Use a clean and dry bowl and whisk to ensure the egg whites whip up properly.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for longer storage.

    I added a pinch of cinnamon to the dough and it gave the cookies a lovely warm flavor.

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some dried cranberries or chopped chocolate to the mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
