Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams toasted almonds, chopped
- 100 grams toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer at medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Step 3
Fold in the vanilla extract and salt gently with a spatula.
Step 4
Carefully fold in the chopped almonds and hazelnuts until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent deflating the egg whites.
Step 5
Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookies are dry to the touch and lightly golden brown.
Step 7
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
