Hazelnut Cookie & Jam
Hazelnut Cookie & Jam is a delightful and mouth watering dessert that combines the rich nuttiness of hazelnuts with the sweetness of jam. These cookies are soft and chewy in the center, and are probably the best gluten-free cookies you’ll taste. You can use regular almond flour if you can't use blanched almond flour. You can choose whatever jam you like, but the acidity of the raspberry jam cuts through the sweetness, as well as the cherry jam.
