Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Beat in flour, ground hazelnuts and egg yolk.
Scoop teaspoon-sized amounts and shape with hands into balls. Place them well apart on the baking sheets. Press a whole hazelnut in the center of each cookie.

Cool on sheet. Transfer to wire rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
