hazelnut flour

Hazelnut Flour is a delicious alternative to regular flour and makes rich addition to baked goods, pancakes, nut bars, and more. It features buttery hazelnuts ground into a crunchy meal. Make this easy flour at home instead of spending your money on expensive store-bought!

How to Make Hazelnut Flour (Meal)

hazelnuts (makes 1 cup flour)

Grind hazelnuts - Add hazelnuts to a food processor and pulse just until ground into a sandy powder, about 30 seconds. Don&#39;t over blend or the nuts will turn into nut butter.

Use in recipes - Use for baked goods like cookies, breads, and more.

The best GF Hazelnut Amaretti Cookies are a moist and classic Italian cookie. These Italian flavored cookies make a great gluten-free option that you can take on the go. In short, my hazelnut amaretti cookies have a chewy exterior and are soft in the middle. They're a treat any day of the week. They're made with little more than hazelnut flour, sugar and egg whites with a splash of almond extract to really amp up the flavor.

Cups Finely Ground Hazelnut Flour

Cup Granulated Sugar

Large Egg Whites (room temp)

Tbsp Almond Extra

Mix the 2 1/2 Cups of finely ground hazelnut flour with the 1 1/2 Cups of granulated sugar. Set aside.

Turn your stove top to medium to medium high heat- using a double boiler, take 3 4 ounce packages of 60% bittersweet chocolate and put the bars of chocolate on a cutting board and finely chop. Chocolate bars produce smoother melted chocolate than if using chips. Once melted, take the chocolate mixture off the stove and set aside.

Bring 4 large eggs to room temperature. Carefully break each egg open, only setting aside the egg whites.

When you have separated all 4 eggs, start whisking or use hand mixer, add the Almond extract and start beating until you get soft white peaks.

I split this final step up and add the meringue in 3 batches. Take a spoon and add to the flour and sugar mixture. Take a whisk and gently incorporate. Once combined, do this two more times until all the meringue is combined with the flour and sugar.

Using a small cookie scoop, start by rolling the batter into small balls and line a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat.

Bake them for 18-22 minutes depending on your oven.

For my oven, these took 19-20 to be fully cooked.

Once cool, take each cookie and dip them in the chocolate until the entire cookie is covered in chocolate. Line on a sheet of parchment paper or a silpat mat and let the chocolate harden which usually takes about an hour.

Cover the cookies in an airtight container and enjoy.

These cookies are amazing. Youre right, chocolate puts these over the top!

Love the cookies and love your recipes!
Thank you so much! Blessings..
