Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 100 g almond flour
  • 50 g hazelnuts, ground

  • some water, hot
  • n. B. Cinnamon powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes

with cinnamon or other flavors, for about 35 pieces

Melt the butter and mix all the dough ingredients. Shape into a log and wrap in cling film and refrigerate for one hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Cut the log into approximately 4-5 mm thick slices, place on the baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Mix the powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (if desired), and a very small amount of hot water until thick and spread over the cookies. Apply a thick layer of icing; this gives the cookies a creamy touch to the crumbly pastry. Since the icing adds sweetness to the cookies, you can also customize the flavor if you don’t like cinnamon. Simply omit the cinnamon completely and stir in a few drops of lemon or vanilla flavor. The entire serving has 17 carbohydrates and approximately 1200 calories. With 35 cookies that makes about 34 kcal and only 0.5 carbs per piece.
