Steps for Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies
The preparation of the hazelnut shortbread cookies is really easy and quick. In a food processor with blades, pour the all-purpose flour and the cold butter cut into small pieces. Blend until you get a sandy mixture. Add the powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, the hazelnut flour, the tablespoon of vanilla, and the egg yolks. Combine all the ingredients by blending again until they are all incorporated.
Now pour the mixture onto the work surface, work it until you form a dough that you will let rest in the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes.
When the shortbread dough has rested, take it out of the refrigerator, lightly flour the work surface, and roll the dough with a rolling pin to a height of 0.39 inches.
Use a cutter to make the cookies, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, one next to the other.
Brush all the cookies with the egg white and decorate with chopped hazelnuts. Bake in a preheated oven at 338°F and let them cook for about 20 minutes. Always adjust to your oven regarding the cooking time.
