    I've always considered hazelnuts to be the fancy sibling to pecans. They are so rich and flavorful and they make perfect holiday treats.

    These Keto Hazelnut Butter Cookies are easily made in your food processor with minimal prep. Keeping with the minimal theme, they also have very little ingredients - only 6!  With 2 grams of carbs, these are a guilt-free treat, even with the chocolate drizzle.

    How to Roast Hazelnuts

    I usually purchase roasted hazelnuts at my local Trader Joe's. But it's incredibly easy (and more flavorful!) to roast hazelnuts at home. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (same temp as our cookies so this works out perfect!). Spread whole hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, keeping a close eye so as not to scorch the nuts.

    To remove skins, wrap warm hazelnuts in a large dish towel and rub vigorously.

    Helpful Tips for Keto Hazelnut Butter Cookies

    • Since vanilla extract prices have skyrocketed, I have switched over to Vanilla Bean Powder. This small packet, albeit pricey, is a delicious investment. A little goes a long way with vanilla bean powder - so you really can do away with just a small pinch.
    • Low and slow will produce the best cookies. Set your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and bake them for approximately 20-23 minutes, watching the edges closely. I always turn the oven light on for this reason.
    • I coarsely chop roasted hazelnuts on a large cutting board with chef's knife but you can give a whirl in the food processor before starting the cookie dough.
