Notes
TO STORE: Once the cookies cool, transfer them into an airtight container or bag and store them at room temperature for 3 to 5 days.
TO FREEZE: Freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Put parchment paper in between the cookies to prevent them from sticking to each other. Bring the cookies to room temperature before enjoying them.
Recipe variations
- More nuts. You can replace hazelnuts with cashews, pecans, walnuts, or almonds.
- Spices. Add cardamom and cinnamon to complement the hazelnuts and give the cookies a warmer flavor and aroma.
- Orange zest. A hint of citrusy flavor will have everyone wondering what bakery you got them from!
- Coffee. A teaspoon of espresso powder or instant coffee mixed with cocoa powder will enhance the cookies' chocolate flavor, and you won’t even taste the coffee.
- Flaky sea salt. Top the cookies with flaky sea salt for a salty-sweet flavor.
- Vanilla. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract to bring out the other flavors.
