Steps for Oatmeal and Hazelnut Cookies
For the preparation of the cookies, use a food processor with blades or a mixer to slightly blend the oatmeal flakes.
If you prefer them whole and coarse, work everything in a bowl with an electric beater or by hand.
In the processor container, work the eggs with the brown sugar for a few minutes, add the softened butter and hazelnut flour, and continue working.
Continue with the oatmeal flakes and baking powder, work the mixture well for a few minutes until it becomes compact and homogeneous.
The dough is soft and sticky, wet your hands for handling the cookies.
Take small balls of dough, give them a round shape, flatten them slightly, and then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Insert a hazelnut in the center of each cookie and sprinkle with some oatmeal flakes
(optional).
Bake the oatmeal and hazelnut cookies in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 12-15 minutes.
The baking time depends on your oven’s power, remove them when they are nicely golden.
Tips and Variations
The cookies stay soft for a few days, keep them well-stored in a cookie box.
For an extra touch of flavor, you can also add some dark chocolate chips.
