Description

Ingredients

• 7oz/200g butter
• 3oz/80g sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 6oz/170g hazelnut flour/ground hazelnuts
• 8.75oz/250g all-purpose/plain flour

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
• Cream together the butter, sugar and egg yolk until well combined.
• Add the hazelnut and regular flour, mix well and bring the mixture together into a ball.
• Roll out mixture on a lightly floured surface to about ¼in/3-4mm thick and cut with cutters or into shapes.
• Place cut shapes onto a baking sheet/tray and bake for approx 8-10min until lightly brown. If they go a bit browner they will still taste fine, they will just be a bit more brittle.
• Decorate as desired (simple icing is confectioners/icing sugar mixed with water on an approx 4:1 ratio).
