Ingredients
-
2 cups ground hazelnuts
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup Nutella(R) hazelnut spread
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, mix together hazelnuts, flour and sugar. Mix in butter, egg yolk and salt until combined. Form into ball; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Roll dough into 48 small balls, about 2 tsp each. Arrange balls, about 2 inches apart, on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake, in batches, for about 18 minutes or until just set and lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on cooling rack.
Spread or pipe 1 tsp Nutella(R) hazelnut spread over the bottoms of half of the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies.
