DESERT ROSES WITH HAZELNUTS, without almonds, simple and delicious breakfast or snack cookies, perfect for dunking in milk.
The “Desert Roses with Hazelnuts” are a crunchy delight enriched by the enveloping flavor of hazelnuts. Ideal for a snack or to start the day with taste, these tasty cookies captivate with the crunchiness of the external cereals and the bits of hazelnuts that make them irresistible.
The recipe for these Desert Roses with Hazelnuts is extremely simple and versatile. In this version, I chose to use whole wheat flour for a nutritious and flavorful note. However, you can adapt it by using your preferred flour, even the cake flour you have in your pantry. The versatility is what makes this recipe suitable for all tastes and dietary preferences.
While I had both hazelnuts and almonds available, I opted for hazelnuts, thus creating my version of Desert Roses. These cookies have always been an icon of good taste for me, but I had never made them personally. As they say, there’s always a first time! These simple and tasty cookies are particularly loved by children for their irresistible crunchiness.
