Hazelnut Butter Cookies

Melt in your mouth delicious – keep this cookie dough

on hand in the freezer to bake when unexpected guests drop in.

Makes about 80 cookies

Preparation: 15 - 20 minutes, plus 40 minutes chilling time

and 25 minutes baking and cooling time

1-3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3/4

pound unsalted butter,

1-1/4

cups (6 ounces) lightly

 

at room temperature

 

 

 

toasted hazelnuts

1 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

3/8

teaspoon salt

1-1/2

tablespoons vanilla

Insert the metal blade. Process the flour, hazelnuts, and salt, using the pulse, 20 times. Remove and reserve.

Process the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the reserved flour mixture and process until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into 2 equal balls. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, until stiff enough to shape into logs. Shape into logs 10 inches long and 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Wrap well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, or double wrap and freeze.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350˚F. Slice 1/4 inch thick and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. (For ease in slicing, let frozen logs sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.) Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges just begin to turn brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
