Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Hazelnuts, toasted and finely chopped
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.33 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, chopped hazelnuts, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and maple syrup together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix again until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until the dough comes together. It may seem crumbly at first but will press together when handled.
Step 6
Turn the dough onto a clean surface and shape it into a rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife or cookie cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes (squares, circles, or rectangles) and place them an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Rotate the pan halfway through for even baking.
Step 9
Remove the shortbread from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the maple oatmeal hazelnut shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
