- Chop the nuts up in a blender or food processor until powdery.
- Make the shortbread dough. Cream the butter in a bowl with a wooden spatula.
- Mix in the powdered sugar in 2~3 parts, add the vanilla extract, and cream some more.
- Mix in half of the cake flour and the salt, add the milk, and mix until smooth.
- Add the remaining cake flour and the hazelnuts and mix using cutting motions. (It's okay if it remains a little powdery.)
- Put the dough into a resealable bag and close while pressing the excess air out. Press down to a 5~6 mm thickness and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
