List of Ingredients



• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• ½ tsp salt
  
• 1½ cups finely chopped hazelnuts
  
• 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate morsels
  
• ½ cup butter, melted and cooled
  
• 3 large eggs, beaten
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
   In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add hazelnuts and chocolate morsels, stirring to mix well. In a separate bowl, combine butter, eggs and vanilla. Add butter mixture to flour mixture. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened; dough will be sticky.
   
   
2. On a lightly floured surface, shape half of dough into a 14- x 2-inch log; repeat with remaining dough. Place logs 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until set; remove from oven. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300° F.
   
   
3. Cut each log crosswise into ¾-inch slices with a serrated knife. Place slices, cut side down, on baking sheet. Continue baking for 30 minutes, turning slices over at 10-minute intervals, until crisp and light brown on both sides. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
   
   Makes about 2½ dozen.
