Hazelnut Cookies {Vegan & Gluten-Free} & A Bob’s Red Mill Giveaway

November 13, 2011 by Faith 105 Comments

A friend recently asked me for a gluten-free recipe for cookies.  When asked what kind, he said, I don’t know…something nutty…or maybe chocolaty; definitely something that goes well with coffee!  I aim to please, and these cookies are all of the above.

Bob’s Red Mill Hazelnut Meal 

I used hazelnut meal instead of flour in these, which I recently received from the wonderful people at Bob’s Red Mill; actually, these cookies are all kinds of nutty (with hazelnut meal, tahini, and peanut butter).  I love using tahini in desserts for its nutty, slightly bitter flavor that I think adds a great balance to sweets, and pairs so well with coffee.  And speaking of coffee, I used just a little bit in these cookies (which you can omit if you prefer), but it’s just barely detectable here and really only adds depth of flavor; chocolate chips make the perfect finishing touch.

The texture of these cookies is really unique.  They are dense and sandy, almost like shortbread, but not dry and brittle like shortbread…they are much moister than I expected them to be, and even tastier the next day.  Hazelnut Cookies {Vegan & Gluten-Free}

Yields about 2 dozen cookies

1 cup hazelnut meal/flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)

1 teaspoon powdered instant coffee (optional)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup tahini

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed*

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips**

Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.

Whisk together the hazelnut meal, powdered coffee, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.  Mix together the tahini, peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl.  Stir the dry ingredients into the wet, and then mix in the chocolate chips (the dough will be crumbly).

To form the cookies, use a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop to measure out the dough; squeeze it a few times in your hand so it comes together, roll it into a ball, and then slightly flatten it.  Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 to 2 inches apart.

Bake 15 minutes; cool 10 minutes on the tray, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

*You can reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup if you prefer your sweets a little less sweet.

**Be sure to read the labeling and/or check with the manufacturer to make sure your chocolate chips are gluten-free and vegan, if this is a concern.

Along with hazelnut meal, I received raw pumpkin seeds and nutritional yeast from Bob’s Red Mill (thank-you, Bob’s Red Mill!).  As with every Bob’s Red Mill product I’ve tried, I enjoyed all of these.  The hazelnut meal was a lovely addition to these cookies, and I’m inspired…I think I want to make Hazelnut Macarons next (that’s right, it’s been too long since I’ve made macs and I’ve been bitten by the bug again ;) ).  The pumpkin seeds are great for snacking or sprinkling on oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, salads, or soups.  However, the nutritional yeast is by far the most interesting product; I’ve been dying to try it for so long!  It’s kind-of cheesy tasting, but in a savory, umami sort of way.  I used it to make a fantastic vegan “cheese” spread, which I will be sharing the recipe for soon.  (I’ve also really enjoyed nutritional yeast sprinkled on popcorn with a little sea salt!)

Vegan Pimento “Cheese” Spread, made with nutritional yeast.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣
