Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.


Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the flour, ground hazelnuts and egg yolk, this will
Form a batter a little sticky.


Take about a teaspoon full roll into a ball, place on sheet pressing
A hazelnut on the top after you have placed it in the yolk .
This will allow the hazelnut to stick.


Since we have a soft cookies recommend you place the sheet into the
Fridge about 20- 30 minutes then into the oven , this will give a firmer
cookie or else it will spread to much.
