1.
Preheat the oven to 160°C (approximately 325°F) convection.
2.
Beat the butter with the sugar, salt and spices until fluffy with an electric hand mixer. Mix the flour, baking soda, ground walnuts and hazelnuts, and mix into the butter mixture. If the dough is too dry, knead in a little milk.

Drop the dough by tablespoons onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, flatten and bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. After baking, top with chopped walnuts, chopped chocolate and sprinkle with ground some chile pepper.
