Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 3/4 cups unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 1/4 cups AP Flour
- 3/4 cup hazelnuts finely crushed
Sugar coating
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 packages vanilla sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and cream with a beater attachment until smooth.
- Slowly add the flour; once combined, add the hazelnuts and mix only until combined.
- Take about 1 1/2 tbsp. of dough and roll it into a log about 2 inches long. Bend the dough to a crescent shape and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Keep the crescents about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until the cookies are slightly browned on the bottom. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- While the cookies are baking, combine the sugar and vanilla sugar in a small bowl or plate.
- When the cookies are done, allow them to cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet, then carefully roll them in the sugar mixture and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
