- 375 g / 13.1 oz / 3 1/3 cups plain flour

Pearl sugar and chopped hazelnuts.
Method:
Heat the oven to 395°F/200°C.
Sieve the flour and crumb it into the cold butter. Stir sugar and egg yolk together, fold into the flour mixture. Knead the dough together, do not knead too much, stop when the ingredients are incorporated. Roll into finger-thick bars and squeeze them a little more flat, approx. 5 mm thickness. Brush the butter cookies with egg white and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts /pearl sugar. Place the cookies with a little distance on the baking sheet so they do not melt together during baking. Bake the butter cookies for 12-15 min. in the middle of the oven.
