Equipment

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.
