Gluten Free Salty Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Most of the time I have very specific cravings. Same goes for creating these cookies, I wanted chocolate and nut and saltiness in a cookie form. And viola, that's what I created. These can easily be made completely gluten free (although the cookies become more crumbly as mine were) or you can replace the quinoa and oat flour with spelt or regular unbleached wheat flour. I didn't have baking powered in-house so I made do without however I do believe a small pinch of baking powered would be helpful to add a little fluff.

Ingredients to make approx 20 cookies: 

2 dl hazelnut flour/ground hazelnut

1/2 dl palm or coconut sugar

1/2 dl brown cane sugar

1,5 tsp salt (I used himalayan salt as I do with everything as it's much healthier)

2 dl oat flour

1 egg

1 dl rice or quinoa flour (or spelt/wheat which takes away the gluten free aspect) 

1/2 dl coconut oil

40 grams butter

300 grams good quality chocolate

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients then add the softened butter and coconut oil and mix. 
3. Add the egg once the ingredients have combined mix into the dough. 
4. Finally add the chopped up chocolate and mix. 
5. Spoon out a regular spoon of the dough and place on baking paper on an oven tray. Make sure there is space between the each cookie so they can spread out as they bake. 
6. Bake in the middle of the oven between 9-12min.

Enjoy these with a cup of hot tea coffee or if your in a real chocolate mood a cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. I hope you like these as much as I did.
