Equipment

  • Baking sheets: I use these to lay out the cookies.
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats: This prevents sticking.
  • Mixing bowl: For stirring all ingredients together.
  • Spoon or spatula: Essential for spreading the batter.
  • Cooling rack: Helps cool the cookies evenly so they stay crisp.
  • Each piece of equipment ensures that the cookies come out perfectly. None of these are fancy, but they're all important!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter: Adds richness.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the cookies.
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar: Adds a deeper flavor.
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup: Keeps the cookies chewy.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour: The main structure.
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts: The star of the show!
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds a hint of warmth.

All these ingredients combine to create a perfect treat. The hazelnuts give it that unique, delicious taste. 🌰

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add both sugars and corn syrup, stirring until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and mix in flour, hazelnuts, and vanilla.
  • Drop spoonfuls onto baking sheet, leaving space to spread.
  • Bake for 7-9 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  • Cool on sheets before transferring to rack.

I love how the cookies spread and form a delicate lace pattern!

    Notes

    Don't rush the cooling. If they're hot, they'll break.
    Customize flavors with different nuts.
    Watch the oven: They bake quickly and can burn fast.
    Perfect for gifts: Package them nicely for a lovely homemade present.
