Donna Hay Choc chip hazelnut cookies

There were no hazelnuts in my pantry to make into meal so I’ve made this recipe with almond meal I ground in a coffee grinder.

I found this recipe in my Sunday paper today and thought I’d give it a go as I needed to make biscuits/cookies for the coming week.

Notes

I used almond meal instead of hazelnut meal.
I used margarine instead of butter.
I used 1/4 cup of oat flour as well as the meal as I found that there was no way I could roll these into a ball and even with the extra flour I had to use 2 teaspoons to make mounds.
Don't get me wrong these made a really nice biscuit and I'd make again but I'd use the extra flour. A very small egg may make a difference as no egg size was specified,  I generally use extra large eggs.
