Spiced gluten-free Hazelnut Cookies

Ingredients

Ingredients for the Gluten-Free Shortcrust Pastry

  • 250 g fine rice flour
  • 110 g millet flour (or sorghum flour)
  • 110 g potato starch
  • 2 g xanthan gum
  • 140 g cold butter
  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or ground ginger)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 80 g toasted hazelnuts

Ingredients for the Filling

  • Babbi Home Bakery gluten-free wild strawberry sauce
  • Babbi Cremadelizia Nocciola Suprema gluten-free
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Preparation

  • Place the hazelnuts in a food processor, add 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar from the total amount, and blend until a fine powder forms. If necessary, add more powdered sugar to help the process.
  • Mix the flour blend ingredients and measure out 260 g.
  • In a food processor, combine 260 g of the flour mixture, the ground hazelnuts, the remaining powdered sugar, the cold cubed butter, and the spices. Blend briefly until the butter incorporates into the flour.
  • Add the egg yolk and the egg, then blend for a few seconds until the dough starts coming together.
  • Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Flatten it, wrap in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour, ideally 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Dust a work surface with fine rice flour and roll out the cold dough to about 2-3 mm thick. Cut out cookies using your preferred cutter and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Cut a hole in the center of half of the cookies. Re-knead and roll out any dough scraps, repeating the process until all the dough is used.
  • Chill the trays in the fridge for 60 minutes or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Bake in a fan oven at 180°C for 14 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with Babbi Home Bakery Wild Strawberry Sauce or Babbi Cremadelizia Nocciola Suprema gluten-free and sandwiching them together.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and store in the fridge.
