Did you know that ...
Adding sugar to the hazelnuts inside the blender is an excellent tip to make chopping easier, preventing the hazelnuts from turning into cream.- Mix the sugar and hazelnut powder with the white flour, add the baking powder, a pinch of salt and flavor with vanilla essence. In the center, add the wet ingredients (seed oil, egg and milk) and mix to obtain a soft and easily workable paste.
- Wrap the dough in a sheet of cling film and let it rest for half an hour.
- After the necessary time, cut the dough into 4 pieces and obtain, from each, long cords, with a diameter of about 1 cm.
- Cut the cords into pieces of 8-10 cm and, with your hands, fold them to obtain “U” shapes.
- Transfer the horseshoe-shaped cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies at 160 ° C for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Chop the dark chocolate, collect it in a bowl and add a couple of tablespoons of milk. Melt the mixture in the microwave or in a water bath.
- Dip the ends of the horseshoe biscuits in the melted chocolate and place on a sheet of baking paper. Leave to harden in the fridge.
- The horseshoe biscuits are ready: they can be stored in a tin box, in a cool and dry environment, for 4 weeks.

For Christmas, prepare a tray of mixed biscuits: along with the "horseshoes", there will be biscuits with chestnut flour, ox-eye biscuits and alchermes peaches!
