Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl or using a food processor, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Gradually add the eggs, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the chopped roasted hazelnuts and the ground hazelnuts, followed by the flour. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- After chilling, roll out the dough between two layers of plastic wrap to a thickness of about 0.5 cm.
- Cut the rolled dough into strips about 7×2 cm and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk, then brush this mixture over the cookies.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
- Once cooled, dip one side of the cookies into melted chocolate, place them back on the tray, and let them set completely.
Notes
You can arrange Nut Bars on a platter for tea time or pair them with coffee. Try different nuts or add spices like cinnamon for variety. For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend.
