Ingredients
The following ingredients have 32 Servings
- 2 3/4 cups hazelnuts, toasted, skinned, and coarsely chopped
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instruction
- Position two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat oven to 350. Line two large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the egg whites and vanilla extract , and whisk until well combined. Do not overbeat or it will stiffen. Stir in chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheets, 5 per sheet, leaving 3 inches between each mound so that they have room to spread. If there is additional batter wait until the first batch comes out of the oven before scooping the rest of the cookies.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked; shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Slide the parchment paper (with the cookies) onto 2 wire racks. Let cookies cool completely, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
