Dough preparation:


In a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, hazelnuts, and cinnamon.
Add the softened butter and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 3 mm thickness.
Use an egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Cut a small circle from the center of half of them.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden.
Let them cool completely before filling.


Coffee cream preparation:


In a saucepan, melt 50 g of butter. Stir in the flour and cook briefly to form a smooth, pale paste.
Gradually pour in the hot coffee, whisking constantly.
Simmer for a few minutes until thickened, then allow it to cool completely.

Beat the remaining 100 g of butter with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy.
Gradually mix in the cooled coffee mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.


Assembly:


Spread a little coffee cream on the whole cookies and top with the cookies with holes.
Dust with powdered sugar or decorate as desired.
