Chocolate hazelnut cookies \u2014 what\u2019s not to love about those three words? These deliciously lightly-sweet cookies have no flour, no butter and are refined sugar-free. They are naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and dried figs. And for that chocolatey flavor, they are made with superfood raw cacao powder. Yes, cookie friends, I think you might love these.<\/p>\n

A healthier cookie that\u2019s also delicious<\/h2>\n

Every year I like to experiment with new cookie recipes that are either gluten-free, sugar-free (i.e. naturally sweetened) or vegan. Or a combination of all three! These chocolate hazelnut cookies are two of those. Naturally sweetened and flourless, they can ALSO easily made vegan by replacing the egg with a vegan egg alternative. My favourite is to make a \u201cchia egg\u201d using 1 tablespoon chai seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water. And my natural sweeteners of choice are maple syrup and dried fruit such as dried medjool dates or figs. In this particular recipe, I choose dried figs as they are a wonderful compliment to hazelnuts and chocolate.<\/p>\n
