Nocciolini Di Canzo

Savor the delightful crunch of traditional Nocciolini di Canzo, exquisite Italian cookies that have been loved for centuries. These petite, round cookies are a perfect blend of sweet and nutty flavors, courtesy of the star ingredient - hazelnuts. Take a delicious journey through the rustic lanes of Canzo, Italy with every bite of these heavenly treats.

Serves 24 cookies

Ingredients

Salt
1/4 tsp
Vanilla extract
1 tsp
Egg whites
2
Granulated sugar
1 cup
All-purpose flour
1 cup
Hazelnuts
1 cup, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the finely chopped hazelnuts, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whip the egg whites with a mixer until they form soft peaks.
  4. Fold the beaten egg whites and vanilla extract gently into the hazelnut mixture. The dough should be well combined yet airy.
  5. Using a teaspoon, scoop the dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet. Keep each cookie about 1 inch apart to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cookies turn a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet itself for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The Nocciolini Di Canzo is ready to be served or stored in an airtight container.

Tips

  • 💡 Make sure not to over whip the egg whites. They should be in the 'soft peak' stage where the peaks curl down when the beaters are lifted.
  • 💡 For an added touch, you can lightly toast the hazelnuts before chopping them. This enhances their flavor making your cookies even more delicious.
