One Bowl Vegan Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

(2)
"Filled with chunky chocolate and hazelnut pieces, they are soft as well as crunchy at the same time. They're also gluten-free, oil-free and lower in sugar, which makes them a great healthier alternative to store-bought ones."

ingredients

  • 2 cups ground roasted hazelnuts
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cups plant milk
  • 1/4 cups blanched roasted hazelnuts
  • 1 1/2 ounces dark vegan chocolate

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.

  • Step 2

    Place all dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well using a whisk to avoid clumps.

  • Step 3

    Add in all the wet ingredients and stir until the dough is well combined.

  • Step 4

    Cut chocolate and hazelnuts into small chunks- for the hazelnuts I used a small food processor to break them down, make sure to pulse until nuts are slightly broken down.

  • Step 5

    Fold in chocolate & hazelnut pieces.

  • Step 6

    Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mix and use your hands to shape them into cookies. Repeat until the dough is finished.

  • Step 7

    Bake at 350°F top and bottom heat (not convection heat) for about 12-15 minutes then turn off the oven.

  • Step 8

    In case your cookies are still quite soft at the bottom, turn the cookies up side down and let them sit in the (turned-off) oven for another 5 minutes.

  • Step 9

    Let cool completely as the cookies will then harden even a bit more.
