    Share a little Happiness with these Hazelnut Melting moments. They melt in the mouth with a vanilla buttery flavour and a lovely roasted Hazelnut taste. The recipe is based on these Melting Moments (Butter Biscuits) and is so easily adaptable. If you bake for charities and bake sales, these recipes are ideal.

    How to Make Hazelnut Shortbread Melting Moments

    Step by Step Instructions

    You will also find a full list of ingredients and the recipe on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post or click the 'jump to recipe' button at the top.

    Ingredients

    • 75 grams icing sugar sieved - Always sieve icing sugar to remove the lumps
    • 150 grams unsalted butter at room temperature - Softened butter will make mixing easier
    • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract - Avoid using Vanilla Essence.
    • 150 grams plain flour sieved
    • 75 grams cornflour sieved - also known as Corn Starch.
    • 75 grams Roasted Ground Hazelnuts - Either shop bought or grind and roast them yourself.

    Preheat the oven to 160deg fan assisted. Have ready two baking trays lined with a silicone baking sheet or baking parchment. Cream the icing sugar, butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well combined. This should only take a couple of mins, especially if you are using a stand mixer with a scraper beater.

    Add the sieved flour, cornflour and ground Hazelnuts. Mix everything together until you have a smooth firm dough. If you are not using a mixer, you may need to bring the dough together using the warmth of your hands.

    Press the Hazelnut dough with a fork

    Make 20 balls of dough of equal sizes. Place these onto the prepared baking sheets. TIP: If you wish to be exact, weigh the dough first, then divide it into equal portions.

    For these Hazelnut Melting moments, I wanted them to be a little larger and flatter than the more traditional Melting Moments. Press down each ball of dough using a small sheet of baking parchment and the bottom of a glass. Decorate as you wish with a fork. They will not spread like other cookies and will retain a firm shape with hardly any spread at all.

    Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 – 20 mins. Or until baked with a slight golden colour. Although they may still feel slightly soft to the touch they will firm up once cooled.

    Share a little Happiness by sending a few of these Hazelnut Shortbread biscuits to family and friends.

    NOTES

    If mixing by hand and the dough looks crumbly, don't be tempted to add any liquid, use the warmth of your hands to bring all the dough together.
