Instructions
Prepare the dough:
In a bowl, beat the butter with the sugars until creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Add dry ingredients:
Sift together the Tritordeum flour, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add to the butter mixture.
Mix by hand or with a spatula until a smooth dough forms.
Add hazelnuts and chocolate:
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate (if using).
Mix well to evenly distribute.
Shape the cookies:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Shape small balls of dough (walnut-sized) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Slightly flatten each ball with your palm or a fork.
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for crispiness.
Enjoy:
Once cooled, they’re ready to enjoy with coffee or a glass of milk! 🥛☕
Tips for Bakers
For even crispier cookies, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
