German Hazelnut Christmas Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F (190u00b0C).

2. 2

   Cream together butter, sugar and egg yolk until well combined.

3. 3

   Add the hazelnut and regular flour, mix well and bring the mixture together into a ball. Roll out mixture on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch (3mm to 4mm) thick and cut with cutters or into shapes.

4. 4

   Place cut shapes onto a baking sheet tray and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes until lightly brown. If they go a bit browner they will still taste fine, they will just be a bit more brittle.

5. 5

   Decorate as desired.

6. 6

   Note: A simple icing you can use is confectioners/icing sugar mixed with water in a 4:1 ratio.
