Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale for this recipe. Also, watch the video in the post for easy visual instructions.

  2. If using whole hazelnuts, process them in a food processor/blender into a coarse powder Then add flour, sugar, and baking powder. Blend again for about 20 seconds.

Chef's Notes

Video Of The Recipe









 

Flour: I made the recipe gluten-free by using 80 grams of rice flour, but you can use regular flour or spelt flour. I do not recommend coconut flour in this recipe because it's too absorbing.
Sugar: I used powdered Erythritol for sugar-free cookies, but you can use icing sugar if you like. The cookies are less sweet with powdered Erythritol.
Vegan butter: I used vegan margarine but any vegan butter should work fine. Coconut oil (softened) should work fine as well.
Baking time: If you flatten the cookies more, they will be done a few minutes earlier. I left mine quite chubby, and therefore, baked them for about 16 minutes.
Check the step-by-step photos in the blog post above.

Me encantó! Solo cambié la manteca por aceite de oliva y el azúcar por dátiles, y quedaron muy bien.

F. ★ 5.0/5

Used oat flour instead of rice flour, coconut oil instead of margarine, rice milk instead of orange juice, added chocolate chips. That's because it's what I had at home. The recipe still turned out great. The art of making do!

Oooooh these cookies are delicious!!! I couldn't help moaning when I tasted them. I love it when my body does that, it's my perfect guide :-D

I used a little less sugar and a little more zest I think. Darn they are heaven! Thank you for all your love and hard work. <3 <3 <3

Just baked a batch and they're almost all gone :)
Family loved them. It's a perfect recipe and they turned out great.
I love your cookie recipes. I also tried your Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies a few weeks ago that were also a big hit.

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
