Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the hazelnuts
Turn the hazelnuts in the pan for a short time and cool them when they smell. Chop until large pieces remain; This way the cookies will be crispy.
Mix the dough
Mix room temperature butter with brown sugar until smooth. Add the flour and mix with a spatula until it comes together. Finally, add the hazelnuts and make the dough in one piece.
Shape and let it rest
Gently press the dough on the counter and make 2 rolls (or a single thick roll). Wrap it with stretch wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; The slices come out more smoothly.
Preheat the oven and slice
Set the oven to 160°C. Slice the dough into 0.5-1 cm thick slices and place them on a baking paper-lined tray, spaced apart.
Bake
Bake cookies for 8–12 minutes; Take it out of the oven when the edges have slightly browned. Leave it on the tray for 5 minutes and transfer it to the wire rack; It becomes brittle as it cools.
