On Christmas Eve I was invited for dinner by my neighbours! For the occasion I prepared "Baci di Dama": hazelnuts cookies filled with chocolate! So tasty that you can’t eat just one!
According to my grandmother’s recipe, these are THE INGREDIENTS:
- 300gr chopped hazelnuts,
- 200gr sugar,
- 200gr butter,
- 300gr flour 00,
- a pinch of salt,
THE STEPS TO GET THEM READY:
- knead the ingredients in a bowl,
- once the dough has become soft,
- refrigerate it for at least 2 hours,
- shape semi-circles with the dough,
- bake the semi-circles in the oven at 160° for 20’, - allow them to cool completely before filling, - meanwhile, put the chocolate into a small bowl and melt it, - put a dollop of melted chocolate on the semi-circle flat sides, and press them onto the chocolate
And then ... enjoy!!!
