Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Finely ground hazelnuts
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 Egg
• 50 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture, and beat until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, finely ground hazelnuts, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft, pliable dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Lightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to create a cookie shape.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or on their own!
