How to Make Italian Hazelnut Cookies
- Position 2 racks in the center of your preheated oven (325°F/160°C).
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse 1 cup hazelnuts and ½ cup granulated sugar until finely ground.
- Scrape the mixture into a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat 3 large egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the hazelnut mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with any remaining batter, ensuring your baking sheets are thoroughly cooled before each batch.
