Honey Spice Hazelnut Cookies
Honey Spice Hazelnut Cookies ~ these nutty, crunchy glazed cookies are a perfect way to ease into fall and holiday cookie baking season!
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 12 tbsp 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 2 cups flour, plus a little extra for rolling dough
- 2/3 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
- 1 tsp salt
For the glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Hazelnut liqueur, e.g. Frangelico to thin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F
- Beat butter, honey, sugar, and spices in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour, chopped hazelnuts, and salt and continue to mix until the dough comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4-1/2 inch thick
- Cut out cookies (I used a small cup about 2.5 inches in diameter), and bake on a baking sheet (I lined mine with parchment paper) for about 10 minutes, they should be lightly golden on the bottom and will firm up as they cool.
- Cool on a rack.
For the glaze
- Thin the powdered sugar with the liqueur until it is a pourable consistency by adding a little bit liqueur at a time to the sugar and whisking until smooth. Drizzle over the fully cooled cookies and let the glaze harden before stacking.
Notes
Make these Honey Spice Hazelnut Cookies your own ~
-
- Make them without the booze ~ omit the liqueur in the glaze and add a bit of hazelnut extract, or a bit of spice. If you use the extract, try 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, and then thin the glaze with a little milk or water to get the right consistency.
