Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies

I was inspired to make these Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies after seeing them on @onesarcasticbaker's Instagram post. My beautiful friend Dee is the face behind this account and she makes the most delicious baked goodies. But when I saw these cookies I knew I wanted to try out the recipe. These Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies are so crispy and they just melt-in-your-mouth.  If you're a fan of hazelnuts and Nutella, this recipe is the perfect bake for you. These cookies would make a sweet Valentines gift as well.  I used a love heart cookie cutter for the middle of the cookie instead of the round cutter. Also, thanks to Dee, I managed to learn something new as well.  I've never used hazelnuts before in my baking.  So, I learnt that to remove the hazelnut skins you need to just roast them for 5 minutes in the oven at 200°C. Hope you get a chance to try out this delicious recipe.  You will not be disappointed. Happy Baking xo All photographs posted here ar...
