Makes approximately 30 cookies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for the hazelnut cookies:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 200 g butter<\/li>\n
• \u00bd cup soft light brown sugar (such as muscovado)<\/li>\n
• 1\u00bd cups plain flour<\/li>\n
• \u00bd cup ground hazelnuts<\/li>\n
• 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
• \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li>\n
• \u00be cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts (quartered)<\/li>\n
• 100 g milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All ingredients should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

  In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Finally, add the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips, mixing only briefly until evenly distributed.<\/p>\n

  Shape the dough into balls roughly the size of a walnut and place them on baking trays lined with baking parchment, leaving plenty of space between each cookie. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n

  Bake at 160\u00b0C for approximately 15 minutes, or slightly longer, until the edges are lightly golden. Leave the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes, as they will be very soft immediately after baking. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.<\/p>\n

  Enjoy!<\/p>\n
