Directions

80 min.

1. Step

To make the nut cookies, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt in a large bowl until creamy. The butter should be soft, not melted, to achieve a good consistency.

2. Step

Add the egg yolks and continue stirring until everything is well mixed.

3. Step

Gradually add the flour and knead the dough until it is smooth. You can either do this with your hands or a dough machine.

4. Step

Then add the chopped nuts and continue kneading the dough until the nuts are well distributed. The use of different types of nuts gives the cookies a varied flavor and an interesting texture.

5. Step

Shape the dough into a ball, cover it and leave it to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies to keep their shape when baking.

6. Step

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and place baking paper on your baking trays.

7. Step

Shape the dough into small balls or, if you wish, into small "crescents" or croissants and place them on the baking trays. Optionally decorate with a nut on top.

8. Step

Bake the nut cookies for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.

9. Step

Leave the cookies to cool on the tray and then sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. I hope you enjoy these delicious nut cookies as much as I do!
