Ingredients
3-egg whites at room temperature
3/4-cup granulated sugar
2-tablespoons powdered sugar
1-teaspoon vanilla
1/2-teaspoon white distilled vinegar
1/2-cup Nutella® hazelnut spread with cocoa
Steps
1
Heat oven to 275°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
2
In large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in sugars, then vanilla and vinegar. Beat on medium speed 5 to 7 minutes or until glossy and stiff and little grit from sugar remains.

In small microwavable bowl, microwave Nutella™ uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until slightly warm and easy to drizzle. Drizzle warm Nutella™ on top of meringue mixture (do not stir in). Spoon heaping tablespoons of mixture onto cookie sheet 1 inch apart; Nutella™ will naturally swirl into meringue as you spoon out mixture.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until cookies are dry and can easily be pulled off paper. Turn oven off; leave cookies in oven with door closed 1 hour.
