Wheat Free Cookie With Almond and Hazelnut Meal

This wheat free cookie recipe is an old one from back when almond flour wasn't so easy to find. When I first tried the recipe, I ground my almonds, oats and hazelnuts in a coffee grinder and mixed the ingredients in a bowl. The coffee grinder worked well for a small batch version, but for a regular size batch you might want to make these in a food processor, as written below;

The cookies are crunchy and very flavorful. The only addition I made to the original recipe was to add a little salt. If you are using salted butter, you can leave it out.

    Therese, that's a good question. I just kind of eyeballed it. I think if you start with double the amount of nuts you'd be fine. For instance, if you want 1/2 cup of almond flour start without about a cup of almonds. That will probably give you a little more than you need. Since you will be doing it in the coffee grinder, you'll have to do it in increments so you can measure as you go.

    Anna:

    What would be the ratio of nuts to flour when you are blending in the coffee grinder. I actually HAVE a coffee grinder so I want to try this out. Is it just pure blended nuts?
    Thanks...I feel like I could write the book...cookie baking for dummies!!!

    I also make my own oat flour all the time, in fact just did it today for a batch of cookies. It's so easy and much cheaper, your're right. I actually use a magic bullet and do it in seconds. The cookies sound great, I love to have ground hazelnuts and/or almonds in cookies :)!

    Katrina, I just checked the 101 recipe and it sounds good. It's got to be quite different than this one because of the different amounts of fat, sugar, and the added banana. I like how they used the coconut oil. Wonder how it would work in these?

    Looks wonderful and I happen to have oat and almond flour in the freezer....will have to grind up the hazelnuts though. Used to live in Marysville WA so I enjoyed seeing this recipe was from the Everett paper...brings back fond memories...thanks for the recipe!!!

    I've made the one from 101--Nikki's cookies and they were really good. I could just keep eating the dough--since there was no egg!
    Anna, these look and sound great. Crunch, crunch!

    Yeah, the recipe I mentioned was on 101 Cookbooks, Nikki's Healthy Cookie. Is that the one you mean, Jessica?

    Anna, I'm glad you've found one you like, I know I can always count on you to find and create the very best!

    What an idea! Cookies for breakfast! I've been looking for one that's healthy and won't give me a sugar crash in the morning. I saved the recipe on 101 Cookbooks. Also tried Elie Krieger's Kitchen Sink Cookies--don't bother. I think it's missing baking powder.

    These were really great. I added a little ground up unsweetened coconut to the dough and can't wait to have another cookie tomorrow. After I finish this batch, I want to see if I can make it a little more nutritious. It still has a stick of butter and a good amount of sugar. It would be nice to swap all or part of the butter out for oil, reduce the sugar and maybe incorporate a more wholesome sweetener.

    Wow, these sound really interesting! I like the idea of baking with nut flours. I do have a recipe I really like, using almond flour, without even any added sugar, just bananas and chocolate chips for sweetening (although I did find I liked it better with a bit of agave syrup mixed in.) I'll have to try this one, too, or make up a hybrid of the two (always so fun.)

    Thanks as always!

    Those looks perfectly formed! Probably a bit on the crunchy side but I bet they have a wonderful flavor with all those nuts.
