    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on rimmed baking pan. Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until toasted, stirring once. While still warm, rub off skins using a kitchen towel; cool. Pulse hazelnuts and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a food processor until finely ground.

Cut out centers of half the shapes with 3/4-inch cookie cutters. Reroll scraps as needed. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; transfer to a wire rack.
