Loading...| 1 cup hazelnuts | |
| 1/2 cup sugar | |
| 2 cups all-purpose flour | |
| 1 cup butter ( softened ) | |
| 1/4 cup sugar ( extra sugar for shaping cookies ) |
| 1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. |
| 2. | Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Transfer the roasted nuts to a bowl and allow to cool. |
| 3. | Grind cooled nuts in a food processor with 1/2 cup of sugar until they resemble sand. |
| 4. | In another bowl, mix together flour and nut-sugar mixture. |
| 5. | Using your fingers, mix in softened butter until the dough comes together and can be shaped into a ball. |
| 6. | Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll each log in extra sugar until completely coated. |
| 7. | Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1/2-inch-thick slices on a diagonal. Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. |
| 8. | Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. |
