Servings: Yield approximately 36 cookies

Ingredients:

  • 13 units granulated sugar
  • 9 units unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 units flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 5 units hazelnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a creamy base for your cookies.

  3. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, ensuring that they are fully mixed in for a cohesive flavor profile.

  4. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder to ensure uniform distribution of leavening agents and a smooth texture in your dough.

  5. Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain the lightness of the cookies.

  6. Add the hazelnuts to the dough, folding them in gently to evenly distribute the nutty goodness throughout the dough.

  7. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading during baking.

  8. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for approximately 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

  9. Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to firm up and develop their signature crispiness.

Additional Notes:

  • These Hazelnut Crisps freeze exceptionally well, making them a convenient treat to have on hand for unexpected guests or cravings. Simply chill the dough, form it into logs, wrap them tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, slice the dough into rounds and bake as directed for freshly baked cookies anytime.
  • For added variety, consider incorporating different nuts or dried fruits into the dough to customize the flavor profile of these versatile cookies.

Indulge in the irresistible charm of these Hazelnut Crisps, a culinary masterpiece that embodies the essence of homemade goodness and Irish tradition. Whether enjoyed as a sweet accompaniment to your favorite desserts or savored on their own, these crispy delights are sure to leave a lasting impression with their delicate texture and nutty flavor.
