CHOCOLATE & HAZELNUT COOKIES

115g of salted butter

50g of brown unrefined sugar

1 egg

180g of all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon of corn starch

1 teaspoon of baking powder

150g of dark chocolate (approx. 70%)

75g of hazelnuts, toasted*

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Cut the butter into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl with the sugar. 

Mix together until a smooth dough starts to form.

Add the egg into the bowl and continue mixing until incorporated.

Once incorporated, add the flour, corn starch and baking powder and mix with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated, then set aside.

Roughly chop the chocolate and hazelnuts and mix them into the dough mixture.

Scoop out roughly 20-25 balls of dough (depending on size of cookies you desire) using an ice-cream scoop and place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Gently flatten the top of the cookies and add a couple of grains of fleur de sel on top.

Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes: *You can sub. the hazelnuts for almond, pistachios, nuts or any other sort of grains and/or seeds to your taste.
