Double Chocolate Hazelnut (V/GF)
These cookies are chocolatey, cakey, thick and full of wonderful bites of Dark Chocolate and Hazelnuts. They also have a couple spoonfuls of my Homemade Nutella in them!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk , unsweetened
- 2 tbsp homemade nutella (see previous post for recipe)
- 1/2 tsp hazelnut extract (almond extract works great too!)
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 5 tbsp cacao powder , unsweetened
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup raw hazelnuts , crushed
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Thoroughly mix the coconut oil and coconut sugar together, then add the almond milk, nutella, vanilla and hazelnut extract.
-
In a separate bowl mix both flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
-
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
-
Let mixture chill covered in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and like a baking sheet or two with parchment paper.
-
Roll cookie dough into balls (2 tbsp worth) and place on prepared pan(s). There should be enough to make 12 cookies.
-
Bake cookies for 9-12 minutes.
-
Let cookies cool before serving. Enjoy!
-
Store leftovers (if there are any ?) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week! They actually get even better after sitting for a couple nights!
