Crispy Walnut Meringue Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Distribute walnuts evenly across a sheet pan. Toast in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

  3. Once walnuts are cool, add them to the bowl of a food processor and blend until the mixtures looks like very coarse sand, about 10 seconds.

  4. Lower oven temperature to 250 degrees F.

  5. In a large bowl, add the egg whites and with a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff, shiny peaks form.

  6. With a rubber spatula, fold the vanilla extract, lemon zest and ground walnuts into the beaten egg whites.

  7. Line a sheet pan with a silcone baking mat or parchment paper. Place 20 spoonfuls of the batter, about 1 tablespoon each, onto the pan.

  8. Bake in oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

  9. Allow to fully cool. They will get crunchier as they cool.

  10. Store in an airtight container.
