Brown Sugar Hazelnut Cookies

PS+chocolate+Hazelnut+cookies+(47)
I was feeling like something a bit more grown-up and sophisticated.
Well, that and I wanted to make something that my husband would eat.
You see, he doesn’t like fruit! Or Coconut!
He likes chocolate. And peanut butter. And nuts.
So, with the treat HE won’t eat, I end up either:
 – 1. eating them myself (so not good for the diet).
– 2. giving them away (the neighbors really like it).
– 3. sometimes throwing them away (a very, very sad day).
So, I made these Brown Sugar Hazelnut Cookies for BOTH of us.

4. Allow cookies to cool and then dip into melted chocolate and add some extra hazelnuts. Or, place melted chocolate into baggie and pipe on in an overlapping design.
NOTE – The dough logs can also be wrapped in foil and stored in the freezer for 3 months. Just thaw in fridge overnight before slicing.

These weren’t as soft as I thought they would be with all the brown sugar. They had a shortbread type of crunch to them. Mr. Quart liked them crunchy, however, I wanted them a bit softer.
To soften them up, I popped them into an air tight container with a slice of bread. Totally did the trick!

Also, they weren’t super sweet.
They paired up nicely with a cup of coffee or tea.
Add the chocolate any way you like or skip the extra calories and leave them plain.

    These cookies sound very good! I have never made log or roll cookies before. I have always been a "drop" girl! I love the cookies you made for your daughter. Thank you so much for linking up to Foodie Friends Friday!

    I have a similar recipe that's been passed down through the family, and we call them Refrigerator Cookies. LOL! The dough is so good I could be happy not even baking them up! Anyhow, ours uses pecans so I love the idea of using Hazelnuts. I love how you drizzled the chocolate on them!
