Ingredients:

• 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts, toasted
• Powdered sugar

Method

Stir flour and salt together. Using electric mixer, cream butter in large bowl until light. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients in 3 batches. Mix in hazelnuts. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Space 1 inch apart on an ungreased or Silpat-lined cookie sheet. Bake until just firm to touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool slightly. Roll in powdered sugar. Cool completely and then roll cookies in powdered sugar again. Store in airtight container.

Notes:

Number of servings: 80 to 85 cookies
