I enjoy an occasional* cookie. I quite like Trader Joe's Chocolate Hazelnut cookies. I made a knockoff. Two sand cookies glued together with melted chocolate. My sand cookie recipe is based on a standard sand cookie recipe with some modifications. I add an amount of ground, roasted hazelnuts equal to the amount of flour and starch in the recipe. The amount of sugar has been reduced by 50% to my taste. I also add egg yolk, which is usually not in a sand cookie, to improve the taste. My sand cookie dough is more like a hybrid between shortbread and sand cookie dough. Sand cookies are of course softer and more crumbly than shortbread cookies because some of the flour has been replaced with starch.
*One cookie a couple of times a week - not one every few minutes until they are all gone.
Three cookies made a nicer presentation compared to just one
