Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup skinned, toasted hazelnuts
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup hazelnut liqueur
3 eggs
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Coarsely chop the hazelnuts. In a bowl, combine the nuts, sugar, butter, liqueur and eggs; mix well. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead briefly; then form into a long loaf about 2 inches wide. Place the loaf on a parchment-lined or lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for 25 min. or until firm. The loaf will have a cakelike texture. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • Cut the loaf diagonally into 1/4-1/2 inch slices and lay those out on a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes more, turning them once until both sides are lightly browned and toasted. Cool and store in an airtight container.
