These keto hazelnut cookies are a soft, chewy cookie with a lovely hint of orange that combines well with the hazelnut. An easy low carb cookie recipe that's also gluten free.
How to make hazelnut cookies
This is a simple one bowl cookie recipe. I've also made the mixture in a food processor when my butter was not soft enough.
What You Need
- Hazelnut meal - Hazelnut flour or hazelnut meal can be purchased online or in stores but you could make your own by grinding toasted hazelnuts in a food processor. Hazelnut flour is a great low carb flour with 4g net carbs per 1oz (28g).
- Erythritol - Any low carb sweetener can be used for this recipe.
- Butter - Use at room temperature.
- Egg
- Orange rind - Using orange rind gives the flavour of an orange whilst keeping the carbs low.
- Cinnamon & nutmeg - the warm spices go well with the hazelnut orange flour.
