    Ingredients

    Honey Cookies

    • 1 ½ cups raw hazelnuts
    • ½ cup coconut oil
    • ½ cup honey
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 ½ cups rice flour
    • 1 cup coconut flour
    • ½ cup tapioca starch
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Hazelnut Filling

    • ½ cup hazelnut butter
    • ½ cup ground hazelnuts
    • 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
    • 2 tablespoons honey

    Decorative Topping

    • ½ cup Hazelnut butter
    • 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
    • ½ cup ground hazelnuts

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350F.
    • If the hazelnuts are not roasted and peeled, roast them for 5-6 minutes at 350F and peel them afterward.
    • Ground the hazelnuts with a blender until you have a smooth mixture.
    • In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and the vanilla.
    • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Mix the flours, starch, baking powder, salt, and hazelnuts.
    • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well.
    • This will form a dough, which might be a bit oily. If the dough feels too sticky, leave the dough in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
    • Form small cookies (around 1 tablespoon from the mixture) and place them on baking paper.
    • Flatten them gently on top.
    • Place the cookies in the oven at 350 F. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes.
    • In the meantime, prepare the filling. You can also use a pre-made spread such as Nutella.
    • Mix the hazelnut butter with cocoa powder and the honey. Add ground hazelnuts in order to thicken the mixture. It will be a bit hard to work with but it needs to have a thicker consistency.
    • Once the cookies are done and cooled completely, spread the chocolate filling on the cookie with the help of a spoon or your hand - it should be thick enough to form it with a hand. Place a second cookie on top and squeeze gently.
    • In a separate bowl mix the hazelnut butter and cocoa powder for the decorative topping.
    • Gently dip the cookie sandwiches in the chocolate spread and then sprinkle with ground hazelnuts.

    Notes

      • This recipe should create around 36 cookies (or 18 sandwich cookies after that)
      • Wait until the cookies have cooled down completely before you touch them as they will be very soft.
