Instructions
- 1 Gather the ingredients.
- 2 Beat the butter, sugar, egg, and salt together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour and baking soda, and mix just until blended. Mix in the hazelnuts.
- 3 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into 2 1/2 inch log. Wrap snugly in wax paper, and refrigerate overnight.
- 4 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets. Unwrap, and cut the log into 1/8 inch thick slices.
- 5 Place on prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart. Brush tops with beaten egg and, if desired, decorate with sprinkles.
- 6 Bake in preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on racks, and store in an airtight tin.
