makes 4 dozen
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2 2/3 cups powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together the cocoa powder, the powdered sugar, the salt & the hazelnuts in a large bowl. Fold in the egg whites & blend until the mixture has slightly thickened. Portion the dough with a small cookie scoop or a scant tablespoon measurement & place 12 on parchment paper-lined half sheet pans spacing 2-inches apart. Slightly flatten each dough mound with a small offset spatula. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until puffed & small thin cracks appear on the surface of the cookies. Cool completely then carefully peel the paper away from the cookie bottoms.

How To Make Flourless Chocolate-Hazelnut Cookies
For larger cookies, use more dough when portioning them onto parchment paper-lined sheet pans leaving additional room for the cookies to spread during baking. A few extra minutes in the oven will have them set just so. Drop cookies are one of the most simple styles to prepare & are perfectly appropriate to serve most anytime. Accompany these gems with other favorites such as Bourbon-Molasses Oatmeal Cookies & Classic Chocolate Chunk Cookies.
