Chocolate hazelnut cookies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 250 g wheat flour type 405
• 50 g cornstarch
• 100 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs, size M
• 125 g margarine, room temperature
• 100 g hazelnuts, ground
• 125 g dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

First, toast the ground hazelnuts in a pan and let them cool. Then knead all the ingredients into a smooth dough. If kneading the dough by hand, it’s best to add the chocolate shavings at the end so they don’t become too soft due to the warmth of your hands. Form the dough into walnut-sized balls, place them on a baking sheet, and flatten them slightly. If the dough is still too sticky, simply chill them for a while before proceeding. Bake at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. If you prefer a more chocolatey texture, you can dip the cookies halfway into chocolate coating after they have cooled. Alternative baking time using a 3-cm dough scoop: 160°C (convection oven), 15 minutes.
