Instructions

If using whole hazelnuts, peel them and grind them in a blender.
Mix all ingredients together, until well combined.
Put into the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
If you are lucky and have a meat grinder with a cookie attachment, press the dough through ist and form the out coming dough-strips into desired forms.
You can also use a piping bag with a wide opening, but be prepared to use you muscles to get the dough through.
Bake on a with parchment paper covered tray for about 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven. You want the cookies just in a light golden brown, don’t overbake them.
