Swiss Icebox Cookies
Author: Kitchen Nostalgia
Ingredients
  • 350 g flour 2 3/4 cups
  • 175 g butter 1 cup or 1 1/2 stick
  • 150 g granulated sugar 3/4 cup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs whole
  • a pinch of salt
  • 125 g hazelnuts chopped or ground, 2 cups
  • 100 g raisins or dry apricots 2/3 cups
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients and knead just until the dough starts to come together.
  2. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and divide into 2 parts. Shape each part into a log, 1 inch (3 cm) diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 24 hours (or longer).
  3. Cut into disks about 1/2 cm thick (if you cannot cut right away, wait for few minutes until cookies thaw a little bit). Place them on a greased cookie sheet and bake in 350 F (175 C) preheated oven for about 15 minutes until they are pale golden.
