Baking season continues: Hazelnut Biscuits

[wiseheart]

We haven't actually baked these yet: they're on tomorrow's programme. But they are really tasty, and I've got a little time right now, so I thought I'd post the recipe now-

Ingredients: (for cca 50)
100 gr butter or margarine
100 gr icing sugar (or normal sugar, it's better with that anyway)
120 gr white flour
50 gr roasted, grated hazelnuts
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoured sugar

For the decoration:
roasted, chopped hazelnuts
(I use ready-made crocant from Dr. Oetker anyway)

How to make it:
* stir softened butter with the sugar, the vanilla sugar and the salt thoroughly;
* add egg and stir some more;
* add flour and hazelnuts and stir into the mass carefully;
* pre-heat oven to 200°C and cover baking tin with baking paper;
* with the help of two teaspoons, place small amounts of the dough onto the baking paper ( leave some distance between them, as they become bigger while baking);
* spread the chopped hazelnuts over them;
* bake them cca 10-12 minutes;
* dust them with icing sugar while still hot;

These biscuits remain fresh for at least two weeks, if kept in a well-sealed tin box.
