How to make Hazelnut cookies
Flavor boost
- We can use blanched or natural hazelnuts. Natural ones will have a darker color while blanched ones will be more like commercial cookies. Pour the hazelnuts onto a baking tray.
- Place the hazelnuts into 375°F / 190°C preheated oven and bake until golden brown for about 10-15 minutes.
Beginner
- Pour the hazelnuts into a food processor. If we like munching on hazelnut bits in our cookies then keep some out of the fine grinding process or just simply don’t grind it so meticulously.
- Grind the hazelnuts to the desired texture. It may require us to move the hazelnut meal off the side of the food processor.
- In a mixing bowl beat butter and sweetener until creamy.
- Add ground hazelnut, flour, egg, salt and water.
- Mix them together.
- Make a couple of test balls to find the optimal cookie size. Ours is 0.5 oz / 15g which is about the size of a medium walnut. Make balls from the dough and place them onto a baking tray not too close to each other as they will be pressed.
- Press them down with a fork horizontally.
- Then vertically. If the fork sticks, apply a bit of oil on its back.
- Place them into a 350°C / 180°C preheated oven until the sides getting a golden brownish color for about 15 minutes.
- Try one.

- Grind hazelnuts and oil until creamy. Keep some bits out if desired.
- Cream butter and sweetener.
- Add hazelnut, egg, vanilla, flour, baking powder, salt and water.
- Mix them together. We will get a soft creamy texture that is hardly manageable at room temperature so we need to cool it down in the fridge or freezer.
