Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup chopped hazelnuts
1 teaspoon brandy

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking powder, spices and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until thick and light-colored. Beat in the lemon juice. Beat in the lemon zest. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Stir in the hazelnuts. Cover and chill for 4 hours.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Using a 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the baking sheets with clean towels and leave undisturbed for 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Turn the cookies over and place a drop of brandy in the center of each cookie. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly colored. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

I like to add a little bit of orange zest to these cookies for a citrusy flavor.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never seem to get the cookies to turn out right. They're always too dry.

Followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out great! They're a little crumbly, but that's to be expected with this type of cookie. The flavor is amazing - just the right amount of spice.
