Cookie Recipes

Moth Balls

2 cups chopped hazelnuts
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 egg whites
36 whole hazelnuts
confectioners' sugar for coating

Heat oven to 300 degrees F.

Place chopped hazelnuts in food processor with sugar and pulse until finely ground.

Lightly beat egg whites by hand. Slowly add ground hazelnut mixture and mix into workable dough. Dough should be moist but workable. Take a heaping teaspoonful of dough and roll into a ball. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press a whole hazelnut into each cookie.

Bake about 30 minutes or until golden and firm. Let cool and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
