My husband and kids love white chocolate, so the other day, I made these White Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies. They were a big hit and got over in no time! In fact, I have already been requested another batch as soon as possible! Like many of my recipes, this recipe was originally created as a way to utilise left-overs. I had some dough remaining from making Apple filled Cookies, and I decided to make these cookies filled with white chocolate and topped with crushed hazelnuts. I hope you like them just as much as my family did! Let me know in the comments! Enjoy!
