Gluten Free Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies

I’ve been craving a chocolate chip cookie lately, but not just any chocolate chip cookie; I wanted a kick-ass one.  These Gluten Free Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies definitely hit the spot!  Let’s put it this way…they tasted like Nutella – yeah, ‘nuf said.

Gluten Free Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies

I couldn’t believe with all the baking I’ve done through the years, I didn’t have a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Crazy right?  I mean chocolate chip cookies are pretty basic, but for whatever reason, I didn’t have a go-to recipe.

For inspiration this time around I turned to Anna Olson, specifically her latest book Back to Baking.  Honestly, this book is dangerous.  I have lots of baking books I enjoy and love, but I must honestly say this book makes me want to bake every single recipe.  Anna’s recipes are simple, and that’s very good when you just want to devour some cookies, bars, etc…like NOW!  It is definitely a collection of timeless recipes (as the title of the book states).  Yes, the majority of the book is non-gluten free recipes, but like I said, they are so simple you could experiment with converting them.  However, if you don’t like converting recipes, there is a whole chapter dedicated to gluten free (along with chapters dedicated to egg free, dairy free and low sugar/fat recipes).

Gluten Free Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies

As I mentioned though, these Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies taste like Nutella heaven, thanks to the chopped hazelnuts I added to the recipe. As well, the browned butter provided a nice deep nutty flavour to the cookie. This was my first time browning butter and it’s true when they say you’ll know when it’s done. The house smelled like toffee nut – like a Skor chocolate bar to be exact.

It’s that time of year again. Pinks, reds and purples will be featured predominantly in store windows. Heart shaped decor and chocolate galore…it’s Valentine’s Day baby!

Gluten Free Ferrero Rocher Style Cupcakes

Now, I’m not much of a Valentine’s Day ‘celebrator’ – that is, I was never big on the Valentine’s Day goodies like the plush toy animals with their big puppy dog eyes and heart in hand. Reminds me of the hilarious ‘Happy Love Day’ scene from The Simpsons (‘they didn’t have Lord Huggington?!). I did however enjoy the vintage Valentine’s Day cards (love anything vintage!) and cheesy cards – like the one featuring a couple of bees with a caption reading ‘Will You Bee Mine’. What can I say; I’m a sucker for cheesy things. Aside from the cards, of course chocolate played the star role. Who could resist gorging on insane amounts of chocolate??

Back in the day, I was able to consume any amount of gluten, so no chocolate was off limits. Of course now-a-days, certain ones don’t make the cut, such as the divine Ferrero Rocher chocolate (queue angels singing).

No, I didn’t invent one, but until that day comes, I present you with the next best thing…my own take on a gluten free Ferrero Rocher style cupcake!
