Boomerang Cookies

Very delicate and tender cookies full of nutty flavor. The name comes from the shape you give them when you bend them.


3/4dl hazelnuts
3/4dl walnuts
1 1/2dl sugar
200g butter
4dl flour
powdered sugar for decoration


Set the oven to 175ºC.

Roast the nuts in a dry pan and then rub the skin of of them with a towel.

Chop the nuts finely.

Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.

Work in the flour and chopped nuts using your fingertips.

Let the dough rest in a cool place for about 30min.

Split the dough into 4 parts and then each part into 12 pieces.

Roll each piece until it's around 8cm long.

Bend them in the middle so they look like boomerangs.

Place them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.

Bake them for about 15min until they start to gain some color.

Let them cool off on the baking sheet.

Dust them lightly with the powdered sugar before serving.

Serve with a nice cup of coffee or tea.


Enjoy!
