Katy's Cookie Lab

Nut kisses

According to a recipe from Grandma

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • 150 g ground walnuts
  • 140 g powdered sugar

Additionally: - walnut halves for decoration

Instructions

Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and then slowly sift in the powdered sugar through a fine-meshed strainer. Afterwards carefully fold the ground walnuts with a silicone spatula into the eggs. Since eggs vary in size, it’s possible that the dough is too runny. In that case add 1-2 tablespoons of additional nuts until the dough does not run when placed on the cookie sheet.

With a teaspoon place small heaps on a cookie tray covered with parchment paper, and place half of a walnut on top for decoration. Bake for about 7 minutes at 350°F (180°C).

Tip: Instead of walnuts you can also use ground hazelnuts, almonds or a mix of several different nuts.
