These walnut sticks are among the cookies that disappear from the table first. They are quick to make, have a pronounced walnut flavor, and thanks to the egg-white glaze look elegant, delicate, and airy. The recipe is ideal for the Christmas season, but it also works well as a quick sweet with coffee when unexpected guests arrive.

For 8 portions

Ingredients

2 egg whites
200 g powdered sugar
200 g ground walnuts
1 tablespoon lemon juice
100 g ground walnuts for dusting the dough

Preparation procedure

Beat the egg whites with the powdered sugar and lemon juice into a stiff, glossy meringue. Set aside one third of the mixture for the topping, leaving the rest in the bowl. To the larger portion of the meringue add 200 g ground walnuts and gently fold until you obtain a compact dough.
Sprinkle 100 g ground walnuts onto the work surface and briefly work the dough on them. Shape into a rectangle approximately 8 × 20 cm and about 1 cm thick. Spread the reserved egg-white mixture evenly over the surface. Then cut with a sharp knife into sticks about 1 cm wide and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake by drying at 80 °C for approximately 90 minutes. Allow the walnut sticks to cool after drying and then serve.

Total preparation time: approx. 1 hr 50 min (10 min preparation + 1 hr 30–40 min drying)

Number of servings: 20–25 sticks depending on width

Walnut sticks with meringue are a traditional, simple yet elegant type of sweet that can delight any lover of nut desserts. The advantage of the recipe is the minimal number of ingredients and the pronounced flavor of walnuts, making it a great option if you’re looking for cookies without flour and without complicated preparation. They are perfect with coffee, for the festive table, and for seasonal assortments of cookies.
