Chocolate Hazelnut Drop cookies~a delicious, chocolatey, chewy cookie with the crunch of toasted hazelnuts. These beauties are gluten free and dairy free, but certainly not taste free!

Chocolate Hazelnut Drop Cookies

Don’t these look ah-may-zing?! Well, they are friends, they are! If you’ve got a chocolate craving, these will satisfy your soul! We’re talking groans of pleasure. I know, that sounds weird, but you know what I mean, right? When you take a bite and you can’t help but “uh” or “oh”, or “mmm”. It’s like there’s no words, you just sort of make noises.

And you won’t believe how ridiculously easy these are to make. Whip up a double batch, and keep some for now and some in the freezer for when that chocolate craving arises. Am I the only one that hides desserts from the kids?

The Inspiration

Recently, my husband and I spent a weekend at the Wickwood Inn. the Wickwood Inn is a lovely B & B in Saugatuck MI. The owner is Julee Rosso, a well-known cook book author. The inn is a real haven for a foodie like me. My husband certainly knows how to pick ’em! He made the plans, picked the place and even had two of her cookbooks signed by her and waiting in our room.
                                                  

Not only did they serve a fabulous breakfast each morning, but each night they had complimentary Hors D’oeuvres. A little later in the evening, there’s always a sweet treat. Tea, coffee, iced tea and juice were available all day for you to help yourself to. The room was perfect, and the hospitality was first rate.

I’m getting carried away, thanks for letting me re-live that memory. So… when you leave the inn, they send you off with a little gift, a collection of recipes. These chocolate hazelnut drop cookies were on that list. When I saw they were gluten free and dairy free, I was excited to make them for an upcoming gathering I was attending, and I knew that there were some special dietary needs. So these were perfect for everyone on the guest list, even if you don’t have allergies.

    I just “Wow”ed out loud when i saw your ingredient list. I will have to give these a try, with almonds or pecans because I don’t have any hazelnuts in the house right now. Thanks for sharing on Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays.
