Nussmakronen Mit Schokolade Nut Macaroons With Chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, ground almonds, sugar, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the nut mixture until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.

5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the dough and shape them into small rounds, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

6. Press a whole hazelnut into the center of each cookie, gently pushing down to flatten the cookie slightly.

7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.

8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. While the cookies are cooling, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.

10. Once the cookies have completely cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the macaroons using a spoon or a piping bag. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
