Инструкции

  1. . Pre-heat the oven to 300F/150C/Gas2. Line one large baking sheet with parchment paper. Position rack in the center of the oven.
  2. . With an electric beater, whip the egg whites for about 2 minutes before adding the sugar gradually. Keep whipping until very well combined to a thickened and smooth ribbon consistency. Takes about 4 minutes.
  3. . Add and fold in the chopped nuts as well as both almond and vanilla extracts to the egg white mix. Transfer this whole mix into a small-medium saucepan.
  4. . COOK the meringue: Stir the mix constantly while cooking the whole preparation on medium heat. The batter will thicken to hold its shape and will become slightly dried out. This takes about 10 minutes from the initial moment that the heat is turned on.
  5. . Remove the pot from the heat and get ready to spoon 2 inch (5cm) batter droppings (or use a #30-medium ice-cream scoop) and space them 1 inch (2.5cm) apart onto the baking pan. Make about 15 mounds per baking pan.
  6. . BAKE for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them rest to cool on the pan for about 1 hour before serving them.
  7. . Storage: These cookies should be left uncovered. However, they'll maintain their originally intended texture for 2 days only. If not planning to have them right away, best to freeze them into a parchment paper as well as into a freezer bag. Afterwards, heat them at low in order to get their outer crispness back.
  8. . Happy baking moments from Claudia's kitchen...FOODESSA.com
