- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 9 ounces hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the orange juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Fold in the flour and hazelnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Form into 1/2 inch by 3 inch sticks, and place onto a baking sheet 1 inch apart.
- Bake in preheated oven until brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
