For an even nuttier flavor, toast the hazelnuts lightly before grinding. If the dough is too soft to handle after refrigeration, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing. Parchment paper ensures the cookies don't stick and makes for easy cleanup. The egg wash gives the cookies a beautiful shine and helps the sprinkles adhere. These cookies freeze well. Store baked cookies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Or, freeze the dough log and slice and bake as needed.
