Ingredients

Ingredients for about 30 cookies

300 g Flour for biscuits and shortcrust pastry
150 g Cold butter, cut into pieces
150 g Powdered sugar
100 g Hazelnut flour (can be homemade)
2 Eggs
1 pinch Salt
q.s. Seeds from one vanilla bean
For filling and decorating
1 Egg yolk
1 tablespoons Milk
q.s. Chopped hazelnuts
q.s. Mixed jams of choice, such as raspberry, apricot, berry, or redcurrant

Preparation

  1. Place all the dough ingredients (flour, butter, powdered sugar, hazelnut flour, eggs, salt, and vanilla seeds) into a food processor and mix until smooth. Alternatively, mix quickly by hand to avoid warming the butter too much.
  2. Divide the dough into approximately 30 walnut-sized portions and, with slightly damp hands, roll them into balls.
  3. Separate the egg white from the yolk of the last egg. Dip each ball in the egg white, then roll it in the chopped hazelnuts so they stick well.
  4. Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then press a small indent into the center of each one using your finger or a small spoon.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C with top and bottom heat. Bake the cookies for about 18–20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Let them cool on a wire rack.
  6. Once cooled, fill the indents in each cookie with the jam of your choice.

Tip: Hazelnut flour can easily be made at home by finely grinding whole hazelnuts in a food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency.
