Hazelnut Shortbread image

We have several acres of hazelnut trees here in the Willamette Valley, where the climate is perfect for this crop. Harvesttime is a big family event with everyone pitching in to help. I try to incorporate this wonderful flavorful nut into our recipes, and this cookie is always a hit. -Karen Morrell, Canby, Oregon

These cookies are a bit crumbly, but they're still delicious. I recommend serving them with a glass of milk or tea.
