Hazelnut cookies

The dough was enough for me to make almost 50 cookies.

Ingredients

280 g flour
100 g ground hazelnuts
100 g sugar
250 g butter

50 g chocolate icing
1 tsp Christmas spice or similar
to taste


Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Place all the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl...

...and mix thoroughly until you have a nice, uniform dough.

Form small, walnut-sized balls out of the dough.

Line a baking tray with baking paper, place the balls on the baking tray...

...and press lightly.

Then bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 15 - 20 minutes.

Attention - make sure that the oven is well preheated when you put the baking tray in the oven! I wasn't paying attention on the first tray and then I completely lost the biscuits, that's nothing!

Be sure to preheat the oven well so that something like this doesn't happen!

After baking, take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool slightly.

For the glaze, melt the chocolate, mix with spice(s) to taste and place a dollop of glaze on each cookie.

Then let the icing dry thoroughly and store the cookies safely until Christmas if you like. But it tastes good even beforehand!

Gleðileg jól!
