To make Hazelnut Meringue Kisses, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts

To begin, preheat your oven to 225°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg white until it becomes frothy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture until it becomes glossy and stiff peaks form. Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.
Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop small dollops of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1-2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and crisp on the outside.
Hazelnut Meringue Kisses are a delightful combination of crunchy and chewy textures, with a sweet and nutty flavor that will leave you wanting more. These treats are perfect for serving at parties or as a special dessert for your loved ones.
