EXTRAS
1/4-1/2cuppowdered sugar / icing sugar for rolling
Instructions
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and hazelnuts, add butter and vanilla. Start to bring together with a fork, then move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead to form a dough. Wrap in parchment or plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours.
Roll dough into small balls (a little smaller than golf ball size), place on cookie sheets. And refrigerate while oven is pre-heating.
Pre-heat oven to 350° (180C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Let sit about 1-2 minutes (while the cookies are still quite warm) then roll in sifted icing sugar. Let cool and then roll again in the icing sugar. Serve and Enjoy!
