12 Hour Chocolate Chip Cookies

12 Hour Chocolate Chip Cookies


DifficultyIntermediateYields10 Servings

This hazelnut cookies recipe is a step up from my quick chocolate chip cookies. It’s a similar recipe, but by chilling the dough overnight you get more depth in the flavour. I’ve also added a bit of cornflour to the cookie dough to improve the texture, and I bake the cookies in ring moulds to give them a more professional finish.

The addition of salted caramel and chopped hazelnuts adds another level to the flavour and texture. Don’t fancy salted caramel? Try a drizzle of nut butter instead!
