To make these Chocolate Hazelnut Macaroons, you will need the following ingredients:

This recipe makes about 24 macaroons.
To begin, preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, sift together the hazelnut flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Add the salt and mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the egg whites form stiff peaks. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the macaroons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and have a slightly crisp exterior. Allow them to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
