These crispy chocolate hazelnut cookies are an irresistible treat. They are paleo-friendly, gluten and dairy free.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 32 minutes
Servings: 40 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almond meal ((not blanched almond flour))
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 2 Tbsp cacao powder
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 6 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 5 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts

Method
 

  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl with a whisk.
  2. In a small bowl mix honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Combine both and mix well using your hands until you have a dough.
  3. Cut the hazelnuts into small pieces using a large sharp knife.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread out the dough evenly and thinly onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. It won’t cover the whole sheet. Make sure it is even and that the edges are not too thin (otherwise they will burn).
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Immediately cut them into small squares with a knife. Let it cool off for another 10-15 minutes. They become crispy when they cool off.
  6. Save the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
