Giovanna is a super cook, healthy and sporty. Her secret, in addition to a mastery that makes every dish not heavy, is to live on a farm where the raw materials are truly fresh and superlative!
These cookies are a real drug for me. I can resist other sweets fairly well, but not these ones.

Halzenuts & cocoa cookies

  • Preparation time: 40 minutes
  • Ingredients for 4-6 servings
  • Difficulty: Easy recipe

  • Ingredients
  • 2 egg whites
  • 110 gr or 4 oz of sugar
  • 250 gr or 9 oz of toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
  1. Instructions
  2. Cut the hazelnuts into 4 parts.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff, adding the sugar little by little while continuing to whisk.
  4. Finally, add the cocoa and hazelnuts and mix with a spatula very gently.
  5. Spoon the cookie dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in a hot oven at 270°F for at least thirty minutes. Bake with the oven door slightly open for the last ten minutes.

Tips to ensure the success of the dish:

  • To assemble the egg whites these, together with the bowl and the whisk, should not be in contact with bits of yolk or grease or fat.
  • These cookies have the consistency of meringue and therefore more than baking it is drying. This is why the cooking time is rather long and the oven temperature is low.
