Hazelnut cookies

Here is one of my favorite family Christmas recipes. I made them this week to eat and give to friends:

German Hazelnut Cookies

3 eggs

4 cups hazelnuts, finely chopped in a food processor

2 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/4 sticks butter

3 cups flour

cinnamon and nutmeg to please

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Mix ingredients together. Roll out and cut with cookie cutters or into squares. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350 F for 8-10 minutes.

When cookies are cooling, mix lemon juice with powdered sugar to make a thin glaze. Glaze cookies when cool.
