# Pound or blend the
hazelnuts to turn them into powder.
# Put
hazelnut powder, castor
sugar, grated chocolate, sifted
flour and the butter, which is softened at room temperature, into a deep bowl.
# Knead the mixture, until it turns to homogenous. Cover the dough with nylon, and place it onto the lowest layer of the fridge. Refrigerate it for half an hour.
# At the end of the refrigerating time, remove it from the fridge. Pick
walnut sized pieces from the dough and roll them.
# Place the cookies onto the greased baking tray with 1/2 inch spaces between each of the cookies. Dig
hazelnuts onto them.
# Place the tray into the oven, which is preheated to 374 F. Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. (The cookies may lay to the surface of the tray. That is normal.)
# Remove the German Kiss cookies from the oven, cool them down. Place paper strings, each has 1/3 width, onto each cookie and sift castor
sugar over the cookies.
# Remove the strings over the cookies. Place the cookies onto a service plate and serve them.
