Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (100g) hazelnuts
- 1 cup (100g) ground almonds
- 1/2 cup (100g) demerara sugar
- 2/3 cups (100g) plain flour (all purpose)
- 1 cup (100g) butter softened
- 10 tsp chocolate hazelnut spread (1/2 tsp per cookie)
Instructions
- First, put the hazelnuts on a tray and toast them in the oven at 320F (160C) for 5 minutes (photo 1)
- Let them cool for a minute or two then blitz them in a food processor until they resemble very fine breadcrumbs. Add them to a bowl with all the other dry ingredients (photo 2 & 3).
- Mix all the dry ingredients together then add the softened butter. Using your hands combine the ingredients together until a dough has formed. Form it into a bowl, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 2 hours (photos 4-6).
- Preheat the oven to 320F (160F). Once chilled remove the dough from the fridge and using your hands pick up a small amount of dough and pinch it together using your fingers so it sticks together and feels pliable. Roll it very lightly between the palms of your hands to form a small 1 inch sized ball (photo 7).
- Continue with the rest of the dough placing the balls on a lined baking tray then bake in the oven for 20 minutes, you'll probably need to do this in two batches (photo 8).
- To fill the cookies simply take one cookie and place a small amount of chocolate hazelnut spread in the middle (around 1/2 tsp). Place another cookie on top and press them together to spread the filling out evenly (photos 9 - 11).
Notes
- Make sure to leave the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This helps relax the dough and ensure it's firm enough for rolling.
- When rolling the dough into small balls make sure to pick up a small piece of dough and squash it slightly between your fingers.
- Roll it very lightly in the palms of your hands. It's important to not use to much pressure or the dough will crumble.
- When the cookies come out of the oven make sure to let them cool before touching them as they'll be very soft and they need to harden before filling.
- You can also fill these with melted dark or milk chocolate if you prefer.
- Store these cookies on an airtight container for up to 1 week.
