Cooking Instructions

• Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, yeast, salt, cinnamon, cloves, the crushed hazelnuts and the chocolate chips in a large bowl.
• In another small bowl mix the egg with coffee, milk and vanilla.
• Add the content of the small bowl into the big bowl and mix all together helping with your hands to obtain an homogeneous dough. If necessary add some flour.
• Divide the dough in two pieces of equal size and for each two long and thick logs (about 1 and 1/2 inches of diameter).
• Lay on a baking pan and cook in the oven at 350 F for about 30-35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool down for about 10 minutes.
• Cut the logs in slices of about 1/3 inch andtoast slightly on each side.

Tips:

If you have a cookie cutter, you can roll the dough using a rolling pin in a 1/3 inch layer.

Another easy way to obtain well shaped cookies is to make small balls of dough (1/2 inch to 1 inch of diameter) and spread them down with your hands
