I make these cookies for the school teachers and staff for Christmas and at end of the school year. They are in much demand at school bake sales. They sell for $6.00 a dozen and usually someone has requested them to set aside for them to buy.-Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois

These hazelnut espresso fingers are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making macarons, and these fingers are a delicious way to use them up.
