Servings: 24

Ingredients

Unsalted butter
1 cup, softened
Powdered sugar
1 cup
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour
2 cups
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Hazelnuts
1 cup, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  6. Gently fold in the finely chopped hazelnuts until evenly incorporated.
  7. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly, creating a crisscross pattern.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy these Heavenly Hazelnut Sandies with a cup of your favorite tea or coffee!
