• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 ounces butter -- cool

Instructions and Comments:

Roast and peel the skin from the hazelnuts. In a food processor, grind the nuts until they are a fine crumby texture. Add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and baking powder to the food processor. Cut the butter into small cubes. With the processor on medium speed, add the butter cubes and blend until the mix looks sandy.

Beat the vanilla, the egg, and egg yolk together and stir it into the dough with a fork. Use this dough for pies and cookie shapes.
