Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare your cookie sheets by covering with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and the aquafaba and whip again.
- Sift your flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add this to the mixing bowl and beat until combined.
- Once dough has formed, you can keep it in the fridge or make cookies right away. Roll out your dough between two pieces of parchment paper. This method keeps the cookies from having too much flour added during the cutting and rolling process.
- You want to roll these very thin as this will ensure a crispy cookie. Depending on the size of the cutter, these will cook very quickly, in 5-8 minutes. Watch them closely. They should be browned to be crispy.
- Once they are done, let them cool on a rack. While they are cooling, roast your whole hazelnuts for about 5 minutes until roasted but not burned. Once they are roasted, chop them roughly and sprinkle with salt while they are still warm. This helps the salt stick.
- In a microwaveable cup, melt the chocolate chips, being careful not to get ANY moisture in it. Heat on high for 30 seconds,stir and repeat until the chips are just melted.
- Drizzle the cookies with the melted chocolate and then, while the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on the salted nuts. Now, drizzle more chocolate over the nuts to help hold them on. Plus, it's delicious!
- Let cool before serving. Store airtight to keep them crispy.Enjoy!
