    grain-free chocolate hazelnut cookiesThese Grain-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies are so easy, it’s almost a sin. Since a batch only makes 12 chewy cookies (you could double it, of course, I don't judge) and they’re packed with fiber, I feel these cookies are a healthy-ish treat too. Plus, the recipe is only seven ingredients. Disco.

    Tigernuts aren't actually nuts.

    what are tigernuts?This recipe calls for tigernut flour, which isn’t made from nuts or grains. A tigernut is a small tuber – it grows like a carrot or potato.  Tigernuts are loaded with fiber, allergen-friendly and Paleo. I think they taste kinda coconutty, which I’m into. Also, I have no idea why they named them tigernuts when they aren't actually nuts. It's definitely confusing - particularly for people with nut allergies. It's clear whoever named them didn't ask me first. I like Gemini Tiger Nuts or Pamela's Products tigernut flours, because they are both finely ground.

    You’ll also need some chocolate hazelnut butter.   You can make your own or pick up a jar, just make sure the oil is stabilized in the butter. If you use nut butter with the oil separated, your cookies will be a runny mess. Not delicious. I used Nocciolata Dairy Free hazelnut chocolate spread, because that’s what I had in the pantry. If you’re Paleo, you can enjoy Grain-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies too! Just choose paleo-friendly nut butter and chocolate chips.

    The cookies are chewy, with a brownie-like consistency in the center. Perfect for my 3pm chocolate fix, or anytime I'm craving. Give these a try, I’m pretty sure you’ll love them.
