Hazelnuts are in season- the harvest is in full swing in Oregon. These tasty nuts are good with just about everything, from breads to salads to chicken. They make a great snack. But my favorite way to enjoy these NW nuts are in cookies. The delicate crunch and delicious flavor goes improves any cookie in my mind. I like to have these with afternoon tea. My friend makes a similar version of these cookies, using almonds and apricot jam. But because it is hazelnut season, I modified the recipe to use hazelnuts instead of almonds. You can use just about any nut that you like- walnuts would also work well. I chose blackberry jam as a nod to the NW, but raspberry might be nice too.
Happy Eating!
