Traditional German Christmas cookies passed down through generations, now perfected with American ingredients for a festive treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup shelled hazelnuts
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.75 cup potato starch
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.125 cups butter
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Evenly lay out the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until fragrant, around 10 minutes. Transfer to a damp towel, cover, and gently rub to remove most of the skins. Let the nuts cool down completely.
  • Once the hazelnuts have cooled, place them in a food processor or blender. Pulse until coarsely ground for a more delightful texture.
  • Combine ground hazelnuts, flour, baking powder, salt, potato starch, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Add in vanilla and butter, then knead by hand until you have a smooth, well-mixed dough. Divide the dough into 8 portions and shape each into a 1-inch diameter log. Mix cocoa powder and white sugar on a plate, then roll each dough log in the mixture. Wrap the coated logs in plastic or waxed paper and chill in the freezer until firm, around 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), then slice the cookie dough rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange them 1 inch apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake in the oven until the centers are dry and the bottoms are lightly toasted, approximately 10 minutes.
