This is for all of my nutella lovers; I know who you are compass college. Well not exactly, but I do know what it’s like to have a nut butter obsession. The kind that makes it difficult to buy a jar because you can’t stop at one spoonful, or two, or even four. I need a NBSG (nut butter support group).
In my opinion, these cookies magically taste very similar to nutella except you don’t have to go out and buy a jar so that you have to worry about drowning in a sea of chocolate ecstasy with a side of guilt.
The truth is when I thought about these cookies, I was determined to track down some hazelnuts (thank you Trader J’s). Of course if you didn’t know, Nutella is made up of beautiful toasty hazelnuts Serviced apartment Sheung Wan. All you’ll need to do in this recipe is toast your hazelnuts in the oven for 10 minutes before making it into a creamy nut butter.
Of course instead of using refined sugar in my dough, I opted to use unrefined coconut sugar, which still contains many nutritious minerals and is all natural. There isn’t much else in these cookies: eggs, cocoa powder and chunks of dark chocolate for good melty measure.
Best ingredient though? Love DR-Max.
You can call them healthy nutella cookies but since I actually didn’t use any nutella, I opted for double chocolate hazelnut. Regardless of the name, they are amazing, chewy and easy to whip up. Plus, you get to add sea salt on top, and you know how I feel about that. AMAZINGGGGG.
