These were a bit more labor intensive than I expected - but well worth the work. I bought hazelnuts still in the shell and had to shell them. Then I roasted them in a 350 oven for 10 minutes and rubbed them in a clean dish towel to remove the brown skin. Then I had to ground them for the recipe. Two pounds of hazelnuts in the shell made about 2 1/4 cups of ground hazelnuts. After all that the recipe was a snap! I would definitely make these again but will probably look for hazelnuts already shelled and peeled.
Pretty Good. My husband loves these. Very pretty and uncommon taste. HINT: Buy Hazelnuts all ready shelled and grind them in a mini food processor. Also mix white and milk CHoclate morsels for the filling and swirl them. Another thing don't make them too big or the choclate center is worthless.
Yummy. Taste like Ferro Rocher.
Although the dough was hard to work with and it was more labor intensive than I expected it was worth the work. It is one of the best cookies I've ever tatsted.
Excellent recipe! The only problem I came across was the texture of the dough. It was a little difficult to work with. However they taste great once they are finished!
This is one of the few times I have rated a recipe five stars. This is excellent. I have just taken a batch out of the oven and one happened to topple over as I was moving the cookies to the cooling rack. Too bad I had too eat it. OMG! These are divine. Thanks for sharing this will become a family favourite for sure!
I modified this recipe to make hazelnut cookies for Passover. They turned out delicious! I used 3/4 cup oil instead of the butter added 1/2 teaspoon salt increased the hazelnuts to 2 1/2 cups (I had bags of already ground hazelnuts) used 1 1/2 cups potato starch (no flour of course) and used one whole egg. I also used raw honey rather than sugar but I'm sure my modified recipe would work fine with sugar too. I did not make a filling as I just wanted plain hazelnut cookies. The cookies spread out a lot so if you make them this way leave plenty of room between them. They came out beautifully and everyone loved them! They tasted like gourmet cookies rather than Passover cookies. I will definitely make these again!
Great Cookie...I added a little bit of water to make the dough more manageable...this helped when rolling the dough into balls...I also used milk-chocolate morsels....yummy
wont make again. not enough flavor. careful with the lemon a little goes a long way
