Recipe for Baci di Dama:
-
1 cup hazelnut flour (finely ground hazelnuts)
-
1 3/4 cups flour
-
11 tablespoons cold butter
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
Nutella
-
Cut butter into chunks and incorporate into both flours and sugar until it becomes a completely mixed dough. It is best to use a wooden spoon or your fingers to completely incorporate the butter with the flour mixture.
-
Place dough in the refrigerator for 10-30 minutes.
-
Form small balls the size of a quarter.
-
When placing them on the cookie sheet, press down slightly so that they are flattened on one side. They will form a dome shape: flat on one side, rounded on the other.
-
Bake at 350 degrees, for about 20 minutes, or until they just start to become slightly darker.
-
After the cookies have cooled spread a thin layer of Nutella on the flat side of the cookie and place another cookie on top, making a sandwich.
