05.04.2008 Hazelnut Spread Cookies

Crispy and buttery and chocolate-y and a little chewy in the center. Woo!

1/2 cup (112 g) nondairy butter
1/4 cup (56 g) packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup (74 g) nondairy chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Chocoreale
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup (28 g) hazelnut meal
1/3 cup (58 g) nondairy semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Line two cookie sheets
with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, such as Silpat.
With an electric mixer, cream butter, sugars, vanilla, and hazelnut spread.
In a medium bowl, sift flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir
in hazelnut meal.
Fold dry ingredients into wet. Fold in chocolate chips.
Place about 2 tablespoons of dough on prepared baking sheet. Flatten just a
little since the cookies won’t spread out much while baking.
Bake for 13 minutes. For chewier cookies, bake only 10 minutes. Wait 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 12 cookies

    Strange! I have never heard of Pateline. That stuff looks so good, is it really made in the Netherlands? I haven’t seen it in supermarkets. I’m sure I’d love any cookie that has hazelnut and chocolate, though, so maybe I could use a different kind of chocolate/hazelnut spread to make these…
    Hazelnoot pronounced the english way does sound funny.

  • Nick says:

    I don’t quite understand it, when do you find time to sleep? Do you bake all day? You make the most amazing looking and interesting creations I’ve found. You use small amounts of this, a little of that, a touch of this….and it always comes out good. You are certifiably crazy (in a good way)!

    oh yum!
    the search for pre-made vegan nutella has ended.
    thanks.

    Mon dieu! A vegan nutella at the Asian market? That’s definitely motivation to get my tush over to the Asian market/mini-mall in my neighborhood! I wish someone had told me that sooner; I wouldn’t have been so hesitant to go (intimidated, I should say). I can’t wait to try this recipe!

  • Celine says:

    I hear you, Vegyogini, it took me forever to get my butt over there. the first time I went, it was only to find out they had moved! at least it’s closer to where I live now, all the more reason to go there more often.

    shucks, Nick. you know how to make a psycho blush!

    from what I’ve seen, Bonnie, it really is from the Netherlands, but don’t quote me on that one. and yeah I’m definitely sure it’d work with any of those chocolate or carob spreads, like Chocoreale or what have you. I’m having a blast saying “hazelnoot” over and over again. if I ever adopt another cat, I might just break down and name it that!
