Instructions
Gather your ingredients. Have ready a ribbed 3-inch square cookie cutter (or any cutter will work) and a ribbed 1-inch-round cookie cutter.
Cut the butter into cubes. In a large bowl, combine the butter, flour, sugar and hazelnut meal.
Mix with your hands until you have a dough with a crumbly consistency.
Add 2 of the eggs and the vanilla and mix well with your hands.
Knead the dough on a work surface and form into a large ball. Dust with flour and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2
Preheat the oven to 350F. With a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough until about 1/2 inch thick.
Using the square cookie cutter, cut as many cookies as possible from your dough.
Lay the squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using the round cutter, cut two holes in each of half of the squares. These will be the top cookies.
Beat the egg in a dish and brush all the squares with the egg wash.
Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown.
Sprinkle the lunette tops with powdered sugar.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of each jam flavor in the middle of each bottom cookie (the ones with no holes). Cover with the tops.
