Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300° F.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat egg whites and salt until foamy. Add superfine sugar slowly, beating until stiff, but not dry, peaks are formed. Sift powdered sugar and cocoa over beaten eggs and use a spatula to combine ingredients well. Don't worry about deflating the mixture. Sift flour over the mixture, again using a spatula to combine ingredients.
  • Transfer mixture to a pastry bag equipped with a number 10 tip. (You may substitute a large plastic sandwich bag and snip a 1/4-inch diameter hole off of its corner.) Pipe 2-inch letters of the alphabet onto parchment paper or, preferably, a nonstick baking mat. You can put them close together, because they won't spread. Bake for 12 minutes. If you use parchment paper, then remove the cookies from the paper the moment they come out of the oven. In any case, remove them with a spatula while still warm.

3 egg whites
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons flour

  • Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and keep on whipping until it becomes a glossy meringue. Add the hazelnut paste and stir into the egg whites.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and fold gently into the meringue. Add now the vanilla seeds, orange zest and cinnamon. The final texture of the dough should be quite firm but still soft enough to be used with a pastry bag.
  • Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and draw many alphabet letters with the pastry bag. Keep them spaced enough as they tend to expand while baking.
