Haselnuss Halbmonde (Hazelnut Crescent Biscuits) is a traditional German recipe for a classic biscuit (cookie) made from ground hazelnuts that are shaped into crescents before baking. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic German version of: Hazelnut Crescent Biscuits (Haselnuss Halbmonde).
Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy then add the remaining ingredients (except the icing sugar and/or chocolate) and bring together as a fairly stiff dough. Turn onto a lightly-floured work surface and knead lightly then roll out to about 5mm thick and cut into crescent shapes (re-roll and cut any spare dough).
Transfer the dough to a lightly-greased baking tray then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 150°C and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are dry but not coloured. Allow to cool on the baking tray then dip in icing sugar or melted chocolate to coat. Allow to set and serve.
