Instructions

1

Prepare hazelnuts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes until fragrant. Let cool, then finely grind them using a food processor.

Pro tip: Rubbing toasted hazelnuts in a clean towel will help remove their skins.

2

Cream butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

3

Add egg and vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Pro tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

4

Combine dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.

5

Chill the dough

Divide the dough into two logs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.

6

Slice and bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the dough into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these ultra hazelnut cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a steaming cup of espresso for a delightful pairing. To make ahead, prepare the dough and freeze it for up to three months—simply thaw, slice, and bake when needed. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing the baked cookies and reheating them in the oven to regain their crispness.
