Easy hazelnut cookies are perfect this time of year! With a delicate nut flavor with sugar sprinkled on top it will become your new holiday tradition.
Have you ever made hazelnut cookies? If not they are a really night nutty treat that is sweet and a flavor that to me reminds me of fall and the holidays coming up. There are a few things I make from scratch each year, I make my grandma’s lebkuchen cookies and these. It is always fun to make something new each year and have a holiday baking day together!

Don’t these look fun….and something different your family or guests may have never tried before?!!
If you’ve never had anything hazelnut it’s an amazing Fall flavor, well really you can eat them year round but they remind me of Fall and the holidays approaching! I love thin crisp cookies and these are really perfect with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Kids can help bake these as they love baking, at least mine do, and I am sure they will love the flavor too.
- Easy Christmas cookie recipes are our style. They are so yummy and it is fun to find a new recipe to bake each year I think. I always make the traditional ones that remind me of my Grandma but I also like finding something new to incorporate into our cookie days to see if we want to continue it for years to come.
Creating cookie tins full of different treats and bringing one for each family when you’re getting together for the holidays can be really fun! Everyone usually has such a variety and a few stories that go with the treats inside. You can share the memories and snack on sweets together….love that.
