Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies are decadent, soft and chewy, luxurious, cookies. This cookie will fill any chocolate craving. These nutty chocolate treats are a chocolate lover’s dream. Needless to say, these cookies are food for the gods. Indeed, these cookies will disappear before your eyes. These cookies are the stuff dreams are made of. Indeed, they are perfect for holiday baking as well. Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies in stacks with a small blue pitcher in the background.

I wanted to create a cookie I had never had before. I also wanted to pay homage to my heritage. Consequently, Hazelnuts are used a lot in Swedish desserts.  In all honesty, I suggest you read every ingredient list for every item you purchase at a store. Believe it or not, I have found several items that have the same label but have different ingredients listed on the back. This cookie uses Birch Xylitol instead of Monk Fruit. It is for those who can’t eat or don’t care for the taste of Monk Fruit.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies:

This cookie has a wonderful aroma wafting from the oven when it bakes. It makes it hard to wait for them to cool down enough to eat them. The cookie is sweet and slightly crisp. For a softer cookie bake for fewer minutes. For a harder cookie bake longer. This cookie almost melts in your mouth. Manna Organics sells Manna Hazelnut Chocolate Trifle or buy it on Amazon.

You don’t have to flatten the cookies out. I made some fat and some I flattened out. These cookies are so good they are hard to eat just one.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread from Manna Organics
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup Xylitol or Monkfruit Sweetener
  • 1/2 cup of maple sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup hazelnut flour
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1/2 tsp pink salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder.

Directions:

First, preheat to 325 F. Second, place parchment paper on cookie sheets (or grease cookie sheet). Place chocolate hazelnut spread and butter in a stand-alone mixer and blend until combined. Add together monkfruit sweetener (or Xylitol) and maple sugar and blend until combined. Finally, add the sweetener and egg to the chocolate mixture and blend. In a separate bowl combine hazelnut flour, cassava flour, baking powder, and pink salt. Finally, add in half the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend. Next, scrape down the sides. Additionally, add in the remaining flour and thoroughly combine. Use a number 60 scoop. Scoop out cookies onto the baking sheets. Using a fork make a crisscross pattern on top of the cookie or leave it as is. Lastly, bake for 15- 20 minutes. Remove cookies and allow them to cool before removing them to an airtight container.Stacks of Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
