Hazelnut Biscuits

Hazelnut Biscuits

This hazelnut biscuit recipe is really quick and easy to make and perfect for a little weekend baking.  They are great to nibble away at or dunk into some to or coffee, I prefer to nibble away as I don’t like little crumbs in my coffee.

You can roast the hazelnuts in the oven first at 180°C for about 10 minutes or until they are lightly toasted and fragrant giving the tray a little shake half way through, this will boost the hazelnut flavour in the biscuits.

Adjust the cooking time if making smaller or larger biscuits.  Not grinding the hazelnuts too fine will add more texture to your biscuits and having some big chunkier hazelnut in the biscuits is great.

I drizzled a little bit of nutella over my biscuits but I would only do it on some unless you are planning to eat them all ???? as they will stick to each other if when you pack them away.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, if you make any biscuits tag me on Instagram, I would love to see how your biscuits have turned out.
