Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup hazelnut meal; 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 large egg; 1 large egg yolk; 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup plum preserves; 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Sprinkle hazelnut meal into an even layer on a jelly-roll pan; bake 6 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
3
Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add egg and egg yolk, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
4
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Whisk together flour, hazelnut meal, rosemary, and salt in a bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat at low speed until just combined. (Dough will be a little sticky.) Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a 4-inch disc. Wrap with plastic wrap; chill 2 hours.
5
Roll 1 dough disc into 1/4-inch thickness on a well-floured surface; cut with a 2 1/2-inch rectangular scalloped-edge cookie cutter to form 18 cookies, rerolling dough scraps as necessary. Repeat with remaining dough disc; use a 1 1/2-inch rectangular scalloped-edge cookie cutter to remove centers of 18 rectangles.
6
Arrange cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Chill cookies on baking sheets 30 minutes. Bake 13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from pans; let cool completely on wire racks.
7
Spread center of each whole cookie with 1 teaspoon preserves. Sprinkle cutout cookies with powdered sugar. Place 1 cutout cookie on top of each whole cookie.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
