Ingredients
- 1 3/8 cups hazelnuts
- 1 5/8 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar plus more for sprinkling on top
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 7 3/4 tablespoons pork lard melted
Method
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet for about 20 minutes. When cooled enough to touch, rub them between your fingers to remove the outer skins. Then blend them in a food processor until fine.
- Mix together the hazelnuts, flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- Start kneading in the melted pork lard. The dough should stick together when you grab a handful but also come apart easily. If it seems too dry, add a little more lard.
- Pour the dough out onto a flat surface and roll it out to a thickness of 1 centimeter. Using a cookie cutter or glass, cut out cookie shapes and lay them on a baking sheet covered with either parchment paper or silicone.
- Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow the lard to get firm again.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden.
- Remove to a baking rack to cool. Once cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
