🍰 Grandma's World-Best Nut Cookies

505 kcal · 130 min · 4 servings

Ingredients

• 150 g flour
• 150 g hazelnuts (or almonds, ground)
• 150 g sugar
• 1 tsp, leveled baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 pinch(es) salt
• 1 egg(s)
• 100 g butter cubes (cold)
• 150 g chocolate coating (for decorating)
• 1 pack walnuts (halved, for decorating)
• 1 jar apricot jam (for brushing)
• 1 pack hazelnuts (or almonds, ground, for decorating)
• flour (for the work surface)

Instructions

1. 1. Sift the flour and baking powder onto a clean work surface. Mix the hazelnuts, cinnamon, salt, and sugar into the flour. Place the cold butter around the edge of the well and press a depression in the center to add the egg.
2. 2. Quickly make a roughly chopped shortcrust dough. First, cut the ingredients roughly with two dough scrapers, then knead briefly by hand until a smooth dough forms. Do not knead too long to prevent the dough from becoming too warm and soft.
3. 3. Roll the dough out thinly on a lightly floured surface (about 2 to 3 millimeters thick). Cut out round cookies and place them on a prepared baking sheet.
4. 4. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius top and bottom heat for about 7 to 10 minutes. Make sure they do not turn too dark.
5. 5. Warm the jam in the microwave and pass it through a fine sieve. Spread about one teaspoon of jam on the still warm, finished cookies and stick two halves together.
6. 6. As the cookies begin to set, pour the melted chocolate coating into a shallow dish and roll the cookies once through the chocolate using the edge.
7. 7. Be careful not to dip the cookies too deep into the chocolate so they look nice afterwards.
8. 8. Dip the chocolate-coated edge of the cookies into the ground hazelnuts. Finally, stick a half walnut on top with a small dot of chocolate, and the Kissinger cookies are ready.
9. 9. This recipe yields about 30 pieces.
