Craving for dessert? Today we are preparing hazelnut biscuits. The ingredients are quite classic : flour, eggs, sugar, butter and – obviously – the Tonda Gentile delle Langhe , the hazelnut par excellence. Few, but good and genuine, these ingredients, combined to perfection, give life to a crunchy and fragrant baked dough.

The final decoration with hazelnut , in its simplicity, gives a further crunchy note and prepares us for the intense flavor of this delicacy. With a premise like this, what are you waiting for to put on your aprons? Let's see how to prepare them now!

Preparation

How to prepare the hazelnut biscuits recipe

1

Start by working the cold butter together with the sugar to obtain a crumbled dough.

2

Then add the egg and the flour sifted with the baking powder .

3

Coarsely chop the hazelnuts : you can do it by hand, with a cutting board and a mezzaluna or blend them for a couple of seconds. Add them to the mixture last, mixing well.

4

At this point, take the dough, form balls about the size of a walnut (the ideal weight for cooking is 15 g ) and crush them lightly with your hands. Transfer the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Decorate with a hazelnut and cook at 180°C for 12 minutes.

5

Remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool . They are excellent for breakfast or a snack, but also to be served together with coffee or bitters at the end of the meal.

These biscuits are delicious and we also leave you a short video where you can see all the steps to make them. As you can see we used hazelnuts with skin: we like the play of color created with the lighter base of the biscuit!

For an even sweeter variant, add 50 g of chocolate chips to the mixture. Alternatively, we recommend trying the hazelnut flour biscuits: they are irresistible!

Conservation

Hazelnut biscuits will keep in a tin box for up to a week .
