Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter with the sugar alternative until creamy. Then add the extract and flour and mix until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Use a spatula to fold in the chopped hazelnuts. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.

  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 325 and prep two baking sheets for nonstick (I use parchment paper). Then use a scoop or spoon to scoop out tablespoon sized cookie dough and place them onto the prepped sheets, about one and a half to two inches apart from one another. You can use a fork to poke holes in top of the cookies.
