Handmade Winter: Hazelnut Spiral Cookies

January 23, 2014 by Abby 6 Comments

Hazelnut Spiral Cookies

Since the Handmade Winter eBook came out, I have’t been able to get the thought of spiral cookies out of my head! I fondly remember my Mum making them when we were kids and I really wanted to give them a go. As much as I would love some pink and covered in 100s & 1000s cookies, I thought I would make a more grown up version.

I modified the recipe a bit and made it into Hazelnut Spiral cookies. I took out any other flavouring from the recipe and added 1tsp hazelnut extract. Once the dough was made, I took out half and mixed in 1/3 cup hazelnut spread (Nutella). Finally, I rolled the dough log in some chopped hazelnuts.

Cookies never last long in our house and these ones are no exception! Even Roman has been digging into them and was rewarded with two for finishing his dinner.

If you would like to see what other projects have been tested out, take a look at this Flipbook.

To learn more, take a look through or buy a copy of the eBook, go to the Handmade Winter site here.

It was such a new and fun experience to work with so many talented ladies to produce the eBook. I really surprised myself with what I could do and am so impressed with how beautifully it all came together. Well done #creativemamas!

    Looks great! I’m doing some research myself on building my own preservation box…it seems there’s so much of some information, and so little of other information that I just can’t find everything I’m looking for! haha

    Your dress looks great though! I’d love to hear about your adventure with cleaning it!

    I actually cleaned my dress in the bathtub. I used a sard wonder stick on any marks and all around the bottom and then left it for a few days. Then I washed it in tepid water in the bath, gently rubbing any marks. I think 95% of them came out which I was more than happy with. I gently squeezed out as much water as I could, then hung it up to let it dry.

    excessive amount of on behalf of me, and that i like single-edged ruffles over

Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melb Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melbourne garden party was the Charlie Caftan by @closetcorepatterns. I shortened it at the shoulders by an inch and think I shortened it at the bottom too. I altered the pockets so they attach into the waist panel, because I hate when in-seam pockets flap about and pull at the side seams. The side slits are a double turn narrow hem as the overlock and turn as suggested in the pattern looked puckered. The fabric is a Cotton + Steel rayon by Masaru Suzuki, which is a dream to sew with. I've made another dress in the red colour way.

Give them a minute to cool if you can lest you burn your mouth.

A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've added a hair hole, since why don't all hats have that?! Also added some garden wire to the brim.  Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.
