Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies
Pane-Bistecca
Hazelnut shortbread cookies are wonderfully crumbly and nutty. They are quick and easy to make and can also be made with almonds or walnuts.
You can also dip them in chocolate and put a nut half on top or decorate them in any other way. As I don’t just bake mine at Christmas, I keep them very simple.
