A few weeks ago I made these chocolate hazelnut linzer cookies from Smitten Kitchen, which I’d been wanting to try for a while, and they were delicious. The cookies themselves have a lovely texture and flavor from the crushed hazelnuts, then the middle is filled with Nutella…and really, when is anything filled with Nutella ever bad? They’re a bit labor intensive but totally worth it if you’re looking for a fun baking project. Also, I burned a few of them but the recipe made a lot of cookies, so it wasn’t a big issue. The rings with the middles cut out bake up quickly, so be sure to watch them carefully if you decide to make these! Read on for a few more pics:
These are very decadent so I would definitely plan on eating a few and giving a few away to friends or family…they’ll be delighted and you won’t make yourself sick from cookie overload (not that I have any experience with that…:)

Oh my goodness! Jackie, those look incredible! Great photos, as always.
OH Yummm!
These look delish
Yum, this recipe would work really well with almond flour to make them Paleo! Weekend project! You'll have to tell me where you got the cute cookie cutters too!
Mm good idea, I love almonds! Williams-Sonoma for the cookie cutters 🙂
I wish I had one right now to enjoy with my cup of coffee!
By the way… great article in Domino! Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much!
