Pesach Hazelnut Cookies

 


200g ground hazelnuts
200g caster sugar 
2 egg whites 
1 lemon, grated zest 


Preheat the oven to 170C and line a baking tray with baking parchment. 
In a bowl mix the sugar, the ground hazelnuts and the lemon zest. 
In a separate bowl beat the egg whites with electric beaters until very stiff. 
Gently fold the nut and sugar mixture into the egg whites until you have a smooth sticky paste. 
Use a teaspoon to place spoonfuls of mixture in circles on the baking tray approximately 2.5 cm apart. 
If you want to decorate and add extra flavor, place a whole hazelnut on top of each biscuit. 
Bake for 18- 20 minutes until light brown. Store
