1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest, chopped fine
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon five spice

Ingredient Notes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the butter in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment.
- Mix on speed 2 for 1 minute.
- Add the sugar, orange zest, spices and honey.
- Cream together on speed 2 for 4 minutes, the butter will look fluffy.
- Scrape down the sides and add the egg. Scrape down again.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients and hazelnuts to the 'wet' mix on low speed.
- Mix dough until it comes together. The dough will look and feel quite sticky.
- Remove from mixer, form into a ball and wrap in GLAD® Cling Wrap. Label and date. Dough should be refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours before rolling out.
- Dust surface and dough generously with flour and roll to 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut dough into 1-inch circles or use a round cookie cutter.
- Place immediately on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Excess dough can be rolled and used again.
- Bake for 8 minutes, rotating trays halfway through baking, until golden brown around the edges.
- Once cooled, sandwich with homemade raspberry jam. Dust tops with confectioner's sugar.
