I experimented with ground hazelnuts in place of ground almonds to make a cookie and was pleasantly surprised. These are a soft, chewy cookie with a lovely hint of orange that combines well with the hazelnut. The recipe is easy to do. You could get the children to whip up a batch whilst you sit back on the sofa! Or I could perhaps persuade the Chief Taster to make up a batch…stranger things have happened in the kitchen!
