"You probably know coconut macaroons, but did you know that macaroons with hazelnuts are just as good and quick to prepare? For a perfect visual presentation, we recommend putting the cookie batter in a piping bag and then pipping on the wafers. However, you can also use two spoons as a shortcut."

  • Step 3/3

    Now spread about a tablespoon of the mixture onto the wafers, leaving a little off the edge. You can also use a piping bag to help spreading the batter more evenly. Place a whole hazelnut on each hazelnut macaroon and press lightly. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 15–18 min. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool for approx. 5–10 min.
