Hazelnut Crescent Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Place the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant and light golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Finely chop nuts and set aside.
• Lightly butter a 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish. Place 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until melted. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, agave and lemon juice. Pour the butter and sugar mixture into the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle 1/3 cup toasted hazelnuts evenly over the syrup in the dish and set aside. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
• Gently unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured work surface and firmly press and pinch the perforations together to make a solid piece of dough. Roll out the dough to a 12-by-9-inch rectangle using a lightly-floured rolling pin. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup hazelnuts on top.
• Starting at one short side, roll up the dough jelly roll-style. Cut the roll crosswise into 8 to 10 rounds, each about 1-inch-wide, using a sharp knife. Arrange the rounds, cut-side down, atop the syrup in the pie dish, with 6 around the edges of the dish and 2 in the center. Pinch open ends together with fingertips to prevent the rolls from unraveling. Cover and chill. Can be prepared 2 hours ahead.
• Bake the rolls until deep golden brown on top and the juices are brown and bubbling around the edges of the dish, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the rolls stand 1 minute. Place a platter atop the pie dish and the invert rolls onto the platter. Sprinkle the rolls lightly with the sea salt flakes. Cool the rolls for 10 to 20 minutes and serve while still warm.

Steps:

• Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a knife; scrape out seeds or use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract if desired.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar and vanilla seeds/extract; stir in flour and almond flour until dough comes together. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Take small amount of dough and roll into crescent shape; place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining dough to make 16 cookies.
• Bake on center rack for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven; let cool completely on baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, scoop Nutella® hazelnut spread into a small bowl set over small pan of boiling water; let stand for about 5 minutes or until softened. Dip half of each cookie into Nutella® hazelnut spread; let stand for about 20 minutes or until cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Roll out and separate crescent dough on a clean work surface. Place chocolate-hazelnut spread in a small resealable bag, seal, and snip off 1 corner.
• Use a zig-zag motion to pipe the chocolate-hazelnut spread onto 4 crescent triangles, leaving a 1/4-inch edge of dough visible. Place equal amounts of sliced strawberries on top.
• Cut slits in the remaining 4 triangles to allow for venting. Place vented triangles on top of the strawberry-chocolate crescents and crimp along the edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden, about 14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Very finely chop hazelnuts in a blender (make sure it is a very fine chop but not pulverized) set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla, mixing to combine.
• Gradually add the flour and hazelnuts to the wet ingredients, making sure all is thoroughly combined.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• With hands, take about a tbsp of dough and roll into a rope shape.
• Twist on cookie sheet into a half moon to form a crescent shape.
• Bake for 10 minutes (do not brown).
• Let sit on cookie sheet for 5 minutes (cookies will be fragile).
• CAREFULLY roll in powdered sugar while still warm, then place on cooling rack to cool completely.
• Once completely cooled, roll in powdered sugar a second time.
• Store in tightly covered container.
