Set aside 4 tablespoons of the hazelnuts. Knead the remaining nuts with the sugar, egg white, and honey to form a firm dough. If it’s too sticky, chill for about 1 hour. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5cm on a work surface sprinkled with the remaining hazelnuts. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut out cookies, e.g., stars, and place on the tray. Preheat oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat) and bake for about 6-8 minutes. Spread the cooled cookies, one pair at a time, with jelly or jam and stack them together. Dip in melted chocolate glaze and let dry on a wire rack.
