Recipe for pine nut macaroons

Ingredients

• 100 g ground almonds
• 100 g chopped almonds
• 50 g ground pine nuts
• 50 g chopped pine nuts
• 300 g sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 egg whites
• Lemon (zest of one)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat).

2. In a large bowl, mix all the almonds and all the pine nuts with the sugar and the salt.

3. In a small bowl, lightly beat the 2 egg whites with a fork and add them to the almonds and pine nuts.

4. Now add the lemon zest and mix everything well.

5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use 2 spoons to distribute small mounds on it.

6. Leave some space between them, as the pine nut macaroons will spread while baking.

7. Bake the macaroons in the oven for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
