1 ounce(s) unsweetened cocoa, chopped
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
2 large egg whites

In food processor with knife blade attached, blend toasted hazelnuts with sugar, cocoa, chocolate, and salt until finely ground. Add egg whites and vanilla, and process until blended.

    This is what I was going to ask. What is the recipe yield, as far as the count of the macaroons it makes? If I make too few, they'll be way more than 50 calories each! :)

    So I made these over the weekend. It made about 14 cookies using the "rounded teaspoonful" directions. Wax paper does not work, neither does a greased cookie sheet. The best method was the silpat (rubbery baking mat) on top of the cookie sheet. They were very yummy. I also added one whole roasted hazelnut to the top of the cookie.

    TWO THUMBS UP! I have made these cookies two times in two weeks. They are amazing because they have such an intense, chocolate flavor. If you do not over cook them they are a little crunch outside and fudgey inside. I have used slivered almonds (which I first toast in a fry pan) instead of hazelnuts since my grocery store does not have hazelnuts. I bought Giradelli bittersweer baker's chocolate. I also used a blender once rather than my food processor and both worked well for those whom may not have a food processor. The cookies are actually fairly healthy with finely chopped nuts, egg whites, very high cocoa content (good kind of dark chocolate) and the only "bad" ingredient is sugar. :drinker:

    I used good old aluminum foil and waited til cookies were nearly all of the way cool. Peel off carefully as they like to stick.
