Equipment

  • 3 baking trays lined with baking paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs size large
  • 200 g granulated sugar white sugar
  • 250 g hazelnut meal ground hazelnuts
  • pinch ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 25 g granulated sugar for rolling the cookies in
  • 20 hazelnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160℃ fan / 180℃ / 356℉.
  • Line 3 trays with baking paper.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl with a balloon whisk until light and fluffy.
  • Add the hazelnut meal, ground cinnamon and salt and stir in until well combined.
  • Sprinkle the 25g sugar onto a plate.
  • Take teaspoons of the cookie dough and roll into balls.
  • Lightly roll the balls in the sugar to coat, then place on the lined baking trays, leaving room inbetween each cookie.
  • Flatten each cookie slightly with clean fingers, then top with a hazelnut, pressing it into the dough slightly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 14-15 minutes, until the edges are a very pale golden, and the cookie looks matte rather than shiny.
  • (You may need to cook them in two batches, depending on the size of your oven.)
  • Leave the cookies on the trays for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
