Description

These Hazelnut Meringues are the perfect blend of crisp exterior and soft, chewy interior. Made with just egg whites, sugar, and toasted hazelnuts, they offer a light, airy texture that melts in your mouth. The subtle nuttiness of the hazelnuts complements the pure sweetness of the meringue, creating an elegant yet simple treat. Ideal for afternoon tea, holiday gift boxes, or as a sophisticated dessert topping, these cookies require patience but reward you with their delicate beauty. They store well in an airtight container, making them a wonderful make-ahead option for parties or special occasions where you want to impress without fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250&# 194;°F (120ðC).
  2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the room-temperature egg whites until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the sugar, two tablespoons at a time, beating continuously until the mixture is stiff, shiny, and holds its shape.
  5. Gently fold in the finely chopped hazelnuts using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Sprinkle any remaining chopped hazelnuts over the tops of the meringues.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and crisp on the outside.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to cool completely before removing.
