Nut macaroons are quick to make
For this recipe, beat the egg whites until stiff while slowly pouring in the sugar.
If you have a firm egg foam, then carefully fold the ground hazelnuts into this mixture.
Spread round wafers on a baking sheet.

Press a whole peeled hazelnut in the middle of each nut macaroon.
Bake the nut macaroons in a preheated oven at around 150 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes.
The cooled nut macaroons are best stored in a stone pot - this way the macaroons stay fresh for a long time and do not become too hard. However, if the macaroons do get hard, simply put a quarter of an apple in the container. The macaroons become soft again due to the moisture in the apple.
