Gluten Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
- Yield: 12 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups ground hazelnuts (filberts)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (can use regular or Dutch-process)
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- flakey sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, cocoa powder, oil, honey, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt into a smooth dough. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough onto the baking sheet and press it down lightly with your hand to form a cookie shape. Repeat with remaining cookies and sprinkle the tops with flakey sea salt.
- Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes. The cookies should be soft in the center and just beginning to brown around the edges. Don’t leave them in for longer than 9 minutes or the nuts will burn.
- Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and they will harden slightly while cooling.
