makes 64 croissants

Place the butter, cream cheese, and flour in a mixing bowl and knead into a smooth dough using the dough hook of a hand mixer. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Mix the brown and white sugar with the ground hazelnuts. Sprinkle 1/4 onto the work surface. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a circle (approx. 26cm). Use a cake slicer to divide the dough into 16 pieces. (Alternatively, cut into 16 pieces with a knife.) Do the same with the remaining dough. Roll the pieces into croissants, starting at the wide end and rolling up to the point. Place the croissants, point facing up, on 2 baking sheets lined with baking paper. Bake the croissants, one after the other, in a preheated oven (electric oven: 175°C/fan oven 150°C) (gas mark 2) for about 12 minutes. TIP: If you like chocolate, you can also cover the tips of the croissants with dark and white chocolate coating.
