Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookies

February 26, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a lovely cookie recipe to bake with kids as it is simple to make and they love to make the thumb print indents and later fill them with melted chocolate.

The first time we made this recipe we had equal parts hazelnuts to flour but we found that was too much hazelnuts so we tried the below combination which tasted delicious. Feel free to experiment with more or less hazelnuts – just swap in a gram of flour for each gram of hazelnuts that you remove.

We used a mix of dark and milk chocolate as we like the taste but again this is a personal preference so use whatever works for you. Make sure to use good quality chocolate and avoid those bars called cooking chocolate as they taste awful.
