A great cookie with a cup of express or tea, lets get started !
Recipe
8 tbsp. of Butter softened
3/4 cup confectioners sugar sifted
1 cup of flour
3/4 cups ground hazelnuts
1 egg yolk
blanched whole hazelnuts to decorate
Preheat oven to 350
This recipe will make around 15 to 20 depending on how big you make them
mine are usually 2 inch ball
lined parchment paper pan they will spread but not much
Cream together butter and confectionery sugar until light and fluffy, beat in
the flour and ground hazelnut and egg yolk.
This will be a moist batter, then with the heat of your hands this will allow you to roll them into the 2 inch smooth balls.
Place these balls onto your parchment paper leaving some room for spreading.
Then press into them the blanched whole
hazelnut not to hard just so its in and will not fall out after baking .
Bake these at 350 for 10 to 15 min., let cool and store them in a tin or freeze them
if you are going to use them later .
enjoy
