Baking Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Ingredients for about 24 cookies:

• 200 grams flour
• 150 grams soft butter
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 100 grams chopped hazelnuts
• 50 grams ground hazelnuts
• 30 grams cocoa powder
• 1 egg
• 1 sachet vanilla sugar
• ½ sachet baking powder
• A pinch of salt

Required kitchen gadgets, helper & preparations:

• Bowl for the dry ingredients
• Mixing bowl
• Mixer/Kitchen machine
• Baking tray + parchment paper
• Plate to spread chopped hazelnuts

Instructions:




…for the dough:

In a suitable bowl, mix together 200 grams flour, 50 grams ground hazelnuts, 30 grams cocoa powder & ½ sachet baking powder until well combined.

Next, in a second mixing bowl combine 150 grams soft butter, 100 grams brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 sachet vanilla sugar & a pinch of salt & mix together for 2 – 3 minutes using a mixer or kitchen machine until creamy.

Preparing Dough

Then add the dry ingredients spoonwise to the creamy butter mixture and mix with a blender or food processor until all the dry ingredients have been completely incorporated & the dough is much firmer but still slightly sticky.




…for the chocolate hazelnut cookies:

Preheat oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Line a baking sheet with baking paper, also prepare a plate and evenly distribute the chopped hazelnuts on it.

Then shape about 24 balls of equal size from the dough by rolling between your palms & gently press each dough ball once on the plate with the chopped hazelnuts. Afterwards place each cookie with a little distance to each other on the prepared baking tray.

Decorating Cookies

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approx. 12 – 15 minutes until crispy, then get the done cookies out of the oven, allow to cool slightly & serve. I wish you lots of fun baking!
