It is known that after the Christmas holidays we find ourselves with a pantry full of leftover panettone, dried fruit, various sweets, and nougats. Before they expire, it’s better to recycle, and with the chocolate nougat with hazelnuts, I thought to prepare some Hazelnut Cookies that are excellent and dunkable for breakfast. Sure, they are a bit rustic, but I assure you they are better than store-bought products. Also, check out the recipe for Lagaccio Cookies, 5-Cereal Dunkable Cookies, and Ferrara Breakfast Cookies, all really good.

Steps
Pour the sifted flour and baking powder into a bowl. Mix and add the cooled melted butter, eggs beaten first in a small bowl, salt, baking soda, grated lemon zest, and the pulp of the vanilla bean. Coarsely chop the hazelnut chocolate and add it to the mixture. Preheat the oven to static mode at 350°F.
Knead and form a firm dough. Cut pieces of about 2 oz each and shape them, lay a sheet of parchment paper on the baking tray, and place the cookies spaced apart as they will double in size. Bake in the middle of the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. As you can see, the Hazelnut Cookies recipe is very easy, I assure you they are excellent in hot milk or as a snack, and they will be liked by both adults and children.
