We have several acres of hazelnut trees here in the Willamette Valley, where the climate is perfect for this crop. Harvesttime is a big family event with everyone pitching in to help. I try to incorporate this wonderful flavorful nut into our recipes, and this cookie is always a hit. -Karen Morrell, Canby, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 cups finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup each white, red, green, yellow and dark chocolate candy coating disks

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add syrup and vanilla. Beat in flour just until combined; fold in nuts. Shape into two 1-1/2-in. rolls; wrap tightly in waxed paper. Chill for 2 hours or until firm.
