Ingredients
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 70 grams Brazil nuts (finely chopped)
- 1 large Egg white
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Step 5
Fold in the finely chopped Brazil nuts, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and shape them into stick shapes approximately 1 cm in width and 5 cm in length. Place the sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm of space between each.
Step 7
Lightly whisk the egg white with a fork and brush it onto the tops of the sticks to give them a shiny finish during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the sticks are lightly golden on the edges.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the sticks to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the Brazil Nut Sticks as a snack with tea or coffee, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
