Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 3/4 cup hazelnuts (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (if you prefer more sweetness, you can go up to 1/3 cup)
  • 1 1/4 cups Type 2 flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsps cornstarch
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • A few drops vanilla essence
  • to taste powdered sugar (optional, as preferred)

Tools

Here is the list of tools I used to make this recipe.

Some of these have a clickable Amazon icon, so you can purchase them directly from here if desired.

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Sieve
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 Mat in silicone
  • 1 Food Processor

Steps

  • In the food processor bowl, place the hazelnuts and chop until you obtain a fairly fine granule.

    Break the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar, vanilla, and EVO oil.

    Mix with a fork and blend the ingredients together.

    Add a pinch of salt and gradually start sifting the flours and baking powder.

    Also incorporate the hazelnut granule and mix again with the fork.

    When the dough starts to become firmer, knead with your hands to form a smooth and soft dough ball.

    This dough ball will have a fabulous consistency, soft and easy to work with.

  • It will be simple to prepare the cookies either by hand, forming balls of 25 grams each, which I then flattened on the tray and decorated with a heart or flower stamp, or by rolling out the dough on the work surface and using whichever cutters you like best.

    Place the cookies on a tray/baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

    With these quantities, you will get 20 cookies.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
