Hazelnut biscuits

Hazelnut biscuits are a delightful treat that combines the rich, nutty flavor of hazelnuts with a buttery, sweet cookie base. They're perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee, and they also make a lovely gift. Follow this simple recipe to bake your own delicious hazelnut biscuits at home.

Ingredients:

1 cup hazelnuts
120g
1/4 cup self-raising flour
36g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
1 cup butter
220g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 tbsp water
16g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Hazelnuts:
- Spread the hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast them in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant.
- Let the hazelnuts cool slightly, then rub them between your hands or in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins.
- Once the skins are removed, pulse the hazelnuts in a food processor until they are finely ground.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, self-raising flour, and powdered sugar. Stir until well mixed.
4. Cream the Butter:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing slowly until everything is well combined and forms a dough.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add the 1 tablespoon of water and mix until the dough comes together.
6. Shape the Biscuits:
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, take portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with your hand or the back of a spoon.
7. Bake:
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Once completely cooled, enjoy your hazelnut biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea!

Tips:

- Toast the hazelnuts beforehand to enhance their flavor. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant.

- After toasting, rub the hazelnuts between a clean kitchen towel to remove as much of the skins as possible, which can be bitter.

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you begin. This will help it to cream more easily with the sugar, resulting in a better texture for your biscuits.

- For a more intense vanilla flavor, consider using vanilla paste or a freshly scraped vanilla pod instead of vanilla extract.

- If you want to add a little extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a touch of cinnamon to the dough.

- To ensure even baking, make sure your dough is uniform in size when forming the biscuits. Using a cookie scoop can help with this.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create delectable hazelnut biscuits that are sure to impress your friends and family. Their rich, nutty flavor and buttery texture make them a perfect addition to any dessert table. Enjoy your homemade hazelnut biscuits with your favorite beverage or as a delightful treat at any time of day.
