Soft, thick, and chewy – these Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies are our new favourite treat. Loaded with melty dark chocolate and crunchy hazelnuts, this nutty version of our chocolate chunk cookies is irresistibly delicious.
Add vegan butter and both sugars to a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy – about 5 to 7 minutes.
Mix thickened flax eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Turn the mixer on medium-low speed and slowly add the flax egg mixture until combined.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Careful not to overmix the flour. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks and hazelnuts.
Using a cooking scoop, scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until golden.
Once baked remove from the oven, sprinkle with a little salt and allow the cookies to rest on the hot baking sheet for an additional 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
