Servings: 26 cookies
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened, organic
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar organic
- 1/4 cup raw cane sugar organic
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut butter I used "Justin's" brand, room temperature
- 1 large egg room temperature, cage free
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt use 1/4 t. if desired
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate bar* cut into chunks, about 1 cup
- 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour I used "Pamela's" brand
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease (use wrapper from the butter.)
Bring butter to room temperature. Or, carefully do this in a microwave, should be very soft, but not melted.
I Make the Dough by Hand:
Add butter to a large bowl. Add both sugars, use a wire whisk (called a french whisk) and mix for a minute until very creamy. Add the hazelnut butter, whisk to combine. Add the egg, vanilla and sea salt - mix in to combine.
Fold in the flour and baking soda with a rubber spatula until partially mixed in. Add the chocolate chips (the flour will coat the chips) and mix until all the ingredients are combined.
Scoop out mounds with a cookie scoop (also called an ice cream scoop) - I used a 1 1/2" sized one, onto the prepared cookie sheet. Space out, they do spread a bit. I added 13 cookies. (Will make a second sheet.)
Flatten with watered hands, or smooth tops to flatten to 2" around with the back of a small spoon. If you do not flatten, they will not be thin & crispy!
Bake the Cookies:
Bake until flattened about 15 minutes. You will notice they will be lightly golden around the edges. Cool on the baking tray (keeps them crispy!) Then remove them to a cooling rack.
Bake the second batch - wipe the parchment paper clean with a paper towel, re-grease.
Store cookies in an airtight container.
* I used: I've used Endangered Species Fair Trade Dark Chocolate - 88% Cocoa Bar. And cut into chunks.
