Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies

by

Happy Holiday Season! It’s all about the cookies, am I right? One of my favorite cookies is a thumbprint cookie, you know the shortbread style with a dot of jam in the center? Well, move over jam! I had this jar of Nocciolata sent to me to try out, as soon as I tasted it (right from the jar with a spoon #sorrynotsorry), I knew it would be a decadent addition to a simple cookie base. My mother-in-law and I took the standard ingredients of a thumbprint cookie and gave them a little twist, and I have to say, we knocked it out of the park. They are were SO SO good! See below for the recipe and give them a try for your own holiday gathering.

Ingredients
  1. 1 1/3 c. White Flour
  2. 1/3 c. Coconut Flour
  3. 1/3 c. brown sugar
  4. 1/3 c. white sugar
  5. 1 egg
  6. 10 TBSP butter
  7. 1 TBSP coconut milk
  8. 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  9. 1 tsp vanilla
  10. 1 cup whole hazelnuts, finely chopped
  11. 1 Jar chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
  1. Set oven to 375.
  2. Cream butter and sugars together.
  3. Add egg, vanilla, and milk.
  4. Lightly whisk flours and cinnamon together in one bowl.
  5. Slowly fold into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Add more milk slowly if dough is too dry.
  6. Make small round balls 1", and place onto parchment paper.
  7. Dip a TBSP measuring spoon into coconut flour and press evenly on to each dough ball to create a deep impression, but not all the way to the pan. Pinch the edges together if they split.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes until slighly browning on the bottom.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes, then fill with the chocolate hazelnut spread.
  10. Sprinkle the finely chopped hazelnuts on top.
  11. Enjoy!

Thank you so much to the team over at Rigoni di Asiago for sending me the jar of Nocciolata. It’s SO good and I loved baking with it as much as I did eating it from the jar. Nocciolata is made with organic ingredients completely free of GMO’s, preservatives, colors, additives, or artificial sweeteners.It combines hazelnuts, fair trade cocoa and cocoa butter, natural vanilla extract, skimmed milk, and raw cane sugar for a chocolate-hazelnut spread with undeniably superior flavor. It is made with environmentally-responsible cold-pressed sunflower oil (no palm oil!). It also contains far less sugar than other brands and is free from hydrogenated fats.
