Ingredients
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to whisk the egg whites until they become frothy.
Step 3
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
Step 4
Gently fold in the chopped peanuts, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden on the edges and firm to the touch.
Step 7
Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
