Several months ago we shared my brother’s chocolate and pecan nut cookie recipe. It was such a success that we decided to make a video of a similar cookie recipe, this time with chocolate and hazelnuts. This is a great, fun recipe to try out with the kids on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and your reward is you get to eat the finished product 🙂
These chocolate and hazelnut cookies are great to have in your cooking repertoire as they’re cheap to make and are always real crowd-pleasers.

We have chosen to share this recipe with you via a video, for a change. Our Clafoutis video recipe went down so well that we’ll be throwing some videos in from time to time to mix things up a bit. You can still find the ingredients and the summary below though.
We would love to hear your feedback on whether you prefer a video or the classic pictures with text for our recipes, so do let us know in the comments below. And if you like the video don’t hesitate to subscribe to our YouTube channel.
