Short hazelnut cookies.

I should avoid cookies. Any cookies, especially those made with 200 g of butter, but making them was such a pleasure on a grey, cold December afternoon! And I know Florek will be at them even before he tastes his dinner. And so will Izzie. So cookies have been made, 4 of them were eaten with a good cup of tea and there are a few packed away for Charlie too.

Recipe is from mojewypieki.com, it works a treat and will be used again. 200 g of soft, unsalted butter was creamed with 0,5 tall glass of muscovado sugar( with a little vanilla sugar too), then 1,5 glass of plain flour added bit by bit. 0,5 glass of ground, toasted hazelnuts. 1 tsp of baking powder. 0,5 tsp of salt. A splash of vanilla paste. Then 3/4 glass of chopped, roasted hazelnuts alongside 2 handfuls of chopped dark and milk chocolate. A thick dough was formed, from which I made little balls, tea spoon sized ones and placed them on a lined tray, slightly flattened. They baked for 15-16 minutes in 160 degrees and filled the kitchen with the most fantastic smell. And even if they give me another centimeter in the waist area, so be it. 🙂
