Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies

 

I really love Hazelnuts, this is a crisp cookie version of the Ferrero- Rocher Chocolate. Perfect for vegetarians as the recipe does not call for use of egg. My dad will love it. These cookies are for my Dad, his yoga friends and for my sister in Pune.

 

The recipe will make 50nos. small bite sized cookies, and trust me you cannot stop after having just one :)

 

40g unsalted butter

170g plain flour
50 roasted whole hazelnuts
80gms sugar
25gms cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
150 gms chopped nuts

Whisk butter & sugar until fluffy & light in colour.

Sieve in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and fold until well-mix.

Roll the dough into 50 small sized balls.
Wrap one whole hazelnut with one ball of batter then coated with chopped nuts.

 

Bake at 180'C in preheated oven for 15 - 20 min.
