Ingredients
- 200g skinless hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp. cacao powder
- 2 tbsp. honey (or maple)
- 2 tbsp. coconut nut oil at room temperature
- 1 tsp. xanthan gum or baking powder
Garnish
- 50g dark chocolate melted
- 25g chopped hazelnuts (roasted are better here)
Method
- Preheat oven 180°C.
- Start by pulsing the hazelnuts into a flour( similar consistency of ground almond so it doesn’t have to be too fine), I used my Nutri Bullet for this (1200 watt).
- Pour into a mixing bowl, add the cacao powder and baking agent and combine.
- Next using your hands work in the coconut oil and honey until a firm dough is created.
- Taking sections, spoon 1 tbsp onto a lined baking tray and press flat (1 cm in height).
- Place in the oven for 10 minutes, the cookies will spread a little and brown and will NOT be firm so don’t try lift them from the tray.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 30-45 minutes this is when the cookies will set and develop a delicious crunch.
- Once cooled, drizzle in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnut.
