Ingredients
- 180 g roasted hazelnuts - 1 cup +10 nuts
- 100 g flour - 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp
- 20 g cornstarch - 2 tbsp
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 150 g soft butter - 2/3 cups
- 80 g sugar - 1/3 cups
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon amaretto
Instructions
-
Prep: Toast the nuts on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes. Grind them but don’t pulse for too long or they will turn into nut butter. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and grind until fine.
-
In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy
-
Add the egg and the amaretto
-
Add dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Add 2-3 tbsp more nuts. The dough needs to chill for 1-2 minutes.
-
Form the batter into dough balls and put onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep a bit of distance because they will spread a bit. Pop the cookie sheet into the freezer for 10 minutes or into the fridge for 20 minutes. Then mark with the tines of a fork like you would with peanut butter cookies.
-
Bake the cookies at 180 C, for 13 – 15 minutes. After half of the baking time, you could turn around the cookie sheet to allow for even browning. Let cool entirely. (Bild 6)
