These delicious chocolate-hazelnut cookies are almost cakes, with a lovely soft texture that melts in your mouth. With this recipe you’ll be able to prepare about 30 middle-sized cookies. If you prefer bigger cookies, go for it! Just make sure to take them out of the oven while they are still soft and let them cool on the baking sheet.

In case you were thinking about what to do with 30+ cookies: they make an amazing edible present and will cheer up any of your friends and/or colleagues! Been there, done that! P.s.: If you are not only a cookie monster but also a big chocolate fan: Add some additional chocolate chips to the dough. And for all the hazelnut-fans out there: roast some hazelnuts in a pan and add them for some extra crunch. Any individual final touches to the recipe are more than welcome and possible and will make your cookies even better!
