Time 45m

Yield Makes about 28

Number Of Ingredients 6

250g butter , softened
100g hazelnuts
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g icing sugar
1 ½ tsp ground cloves
350g plain flour

Steps:

  • Put the butter, hazelnuts, vanilla extract and 85g of the icing sugar in a food processor and whizz to a paste. Add 1 tsp of the ground cloves and the flour, and pulse together until a dough forms.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a couple of baking sheets with baking parchment. Roll the dough into walnut- sized balls and arrange on the baking sheets. Use the back of a fork to lightly squash each ball, then bake for 12-15 mins until they turn a pale biscuit colour - if they get too brown, they will become dry.
  • Mix the remaining icing sugar and ground cloves, then sieve thickly over the hot biscuits. Leave to cool slightly before eating just warm, or cool.
