Hazelnut Dessert

- Pour wet ingredients into dry ones and mix well.
- Lay a piece of saran wrap down and put dough in the center.
- Wrap it up and put it in the fridge to firm for 30-60 min.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Remove saran wrap and put between two pcs of parchment paper and roll out until it’s about 1/4″ thick.
- Use cookie cutters if desired or cut with a pizza cutter (works well) into pcs that are the same size so they cook evenly.
- Place on cookie sheet with parchment paper underneath and sprinkle tops with sugar.
- Bake for 13 minutes, remove even though they won’t look done.
