Introduction: ♥ HAZELNUT KISSES ♥

By

Small "kisses" cookies are typical of north Italy, there are many different kinds: these in particular are called "Dame kisses".
I made them with hazelnuts, but you can also made them with almonds or walnuts.
They have an amazing nutty taste!

COOKIES:
-100g butter;
-150g roasted hazelnuts;

Step 2: MINCE THE NUTS

mince the hazelnuts really thin.

Step 3: MIX INGREDIENTS

mix all the ingredients together (the butter should be at room temperature, not melted).
Made them in a ball, and put the ball in a plastic wrap for food, and in the fridge for half an hour.

Let them cool down so they stick together.
