The nuts are toasted. I chopped everything medium fine. You could also do a rough chop.
I liked how they are all shiny off white outside and marbled brown inside.
Do try, nuts are great in meringue. I also added a touch of almond extract.
There are also cookies combining meringue and shortbread popular in Israel. E.g. https://www.onesarcasticbaker.com/butter-meringue-cookies/ (haven't tried this recipe).
