"You probably know coconut macaroons, but did you know that macaroons with hazelnuts are just as good and quick to prepare? For a perfect visual presentation, we recommend putting the cookie batter in a piping bag and then pipping on the wafers. However, you can also use two spoons as a shortcut."

Step 1/3
- 2 wafers
- 8 g confectioner’s sugar
- ⅛ bag vanilla sugar
- ¼ egg whites
- oven
- parchment paper
- bowl
- hand mixer with beaters
Preheat the oven to 160°C/320ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place wafers (⌀ 40 mm) on it. Sift the confectioner’s sugar into a bowl and mix with vanilla sugar. Set aside. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and start beating the egg whites in a bowl using a hand mixer.
Step 2/3
- hazelnut (for decorating)
- rubber spatula
Continue to beat the egg whites while adding the sugar mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then carefully fold in the ground hazelnuts with a rubber spatula in three batches.
Step 3/3
- piping bag
Now spread about a tablespoon of the mixture onto the wafers, leaving a little off the edge. You can also use a piping bag to help spreading the batter more evenly. Place a whole hazelnut on each hazelnut macaroon and press lightly. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 15–18 min. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool for approx. 5–10 min.
Enjoy your meal!
