Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup softened butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
9 ounces hazelnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm not sure how I feel about this recipe. It looks good, but I'm not sure if I like the combination of chicken, hazelnuts, and Swiss cheese.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'm not sure if I can make this recipe. I might try substituting the hazelnuts with something else.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try again next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, and the chicken didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I might try it again with some modifications.
