f you are a shortbread cookie fan and love Hazelnuts, then you will LOVE this recipe. This recipe requires only four ingredients and is super easy to make.
When you grind the Hazelnut in the food processor, be very careful not to over grind it or the nuts will turn into oil.
The recipe calls for playable butter. That means that the butter is soft like play dough so when pressed it does not losses it shape.
You can make this recipe using the food processor or if you chose, your hands. If you would like to use a standing mixer, make sure the butter is soft.
When baking the cookies as plain shortbread cutout, pay attention to the thickness of the cookie.
I used Nutella for the fill-in but you can use what ever brand of flavor you wish.
