Ingredients

Metric Imperial

{'group': 'Main', 'item': '224g unsalted butter, softened'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '150g powdered sugar, plus more for coating'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '5ml pure vanilla extract'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '338g unbleached all-purpose flour'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '12g fine sea salt'}
{'group': 'Main', 'item': '97g finely chopped raw hazelnuts'}

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F (200°C)) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat together the softened butter, 150g powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and sea salt.

Cooking

Gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture using a wooden spoon until a homogeneous dough forms.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.
Roll the dough into 2.5cm balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2.5cm apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are just set.

Plating & Serving

While the cookies are still warm but cool enough to handle, roll each one in additional powdered sugar.
Place the coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, sprinkle more powdered sugar over the top before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
