Cinnamon Cookies

Instructions

• 1
  Take a larger bowl, add butter, ground hazelnuts, plain flour, white sugar, and vanilla pudding powder, and work into a smooth dough. Wrap the resulting dough in cling film, place it in the fridge, and let it rest for at least 40 minutes.

  After the dough has rested, preheat the oven to 175⁠–⁠180 °C, prepare a baking tray measuring 30 cm × 40 cm, and line it with baking paper.

  Take the rested dough out of the fridge and form balls weighing 27⁠–⁠30 g (you should get approximately 12 balls). Once all the dough is processed, flatten the balls with your palm into discs about 6⁠–⁠7 cm in diameter and place them on the lined baking tray.

  Now prepare 2 smaller bowls: Crack the egg into one bowl and beat it with a fork. In the second bowl, mix cinnamon with brown sugar. Then brush all the discs on the tray with the beaten egg and sprinkle them with the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.
