These chocolate dipped hazelnut sandwich cookies are a must add to your holiday cookie baking list this year!
Can we all agree that hazelnuts and chocolate are an amazing flavor combination? Well, in these cookies, hazelnut cookies are sandwiched with a delicate apricot filling and then dipped in chocolate making one unforgettable cookie!
Usually, the problem with nut based cookies and recipes are that the nuts need to be ground up. Not in these cookies though, because Bob’s Red Mill makes the most perfect hazelnut flour! You don’t have to roast your hazelnuts, peel them, grind them – it’s all done for you with their hazelnut flour/meal.
You know I love Bob’s Red Mill products (like when I made this 5 ingredient almond cake or this skilled cornbread) and their flours are truly the best for baking, I cannot recommend them highly enough for your holiday baking.
I love holiday baking. As soon as the weather gets a little colder (we had our first snow this weekend) and I start seeing Christmas decorations, I feel the call to the kitchen to bake Christmas cookies.
Every year, I challenge myself to make a new cookie, a cookie that I’ve never made before, and a cookie that I’ll really be proud of that will scream the holidays to me. Two years ago I made sugar cookies that actually hold their shape and dark and stormy cream pies, and last year I made s’mores cookie cups.
This year, I’ll be making these chocolate dipped hazelnut sandwich cookies. But, it’s not the first year I’ve gotten to eat these amazing cookies, because my husband’s nana makes the most amazing cookie trays, and these cookies are my favorite ones she makes. She kindly shared the recipe with me which I’m sharing with you guys today!
These cookies do require a little time and love, but they’re so worth it. You make the cookies, spread apricot jam and form a sandwich cookie and then dip them in chocolate. The best part about these cookies is that the dough can be made and frozen ahead of time, or the cookies themselves can be made ahead and frozen. They’re super freezer friendly.
I’ll be making these cookies this holiday season, I’d love to know, what are you baking?

Thank you so much! So happy that you see the love that goes into making these, they’re unique but soooo delicious 🙂
Are these the cookies that needed the third-times-a-charm melted chocolate??? They look AMAZING!! Totally worth the extra hassle! ?
Girl, you are so observant! YES, these are the cookies that needed the third-times-a-charm melted chocolate, note to self to babysit melting chocolate in the microwave lol! But the end result is so delish, that I completely forgot about the hardship!
Mmm these cookies look SO swoon-worthy and delicious – I love that hazelnut flour, and the chocolate dip looks sooo wonderful!
Thank you so much! I just recently discovered hazelnut (because of course Bob’s Red Mill has the best products) and I am completely obsessed, I’ve been making so many different baked goods with it!
Oh my goodness, these cookies are fabulous, Phi!! So unique and absolutely gorgeous! I’m dying over the hazelnut and chocolate flavor, but you totally took these over the top with that apricot filling!! GENIUS! Cheers, friend!
Hazelnut flour is something that is a total time-saver. You don’t have to sit there and roast the nuts, peel them, grind them lol. I think you’d love these cookies and I’m so grateful for your comment 🙂

Thank you so much, these are on my baking list for this weekend again lol.
These cookies look superb Phi! I want one.
Thank you so much!
Yum! Chocolate and hazelnut are a great combination! I’ll have to keep my eyes open for some hazelnut flour!
Chocolate and hazelnut are just sooo yummy together. I’ve seen Bob’s Red Mill hazelnut flour in the four section at most major grocery stores, it’s so amazing, highly recommend the product 🙂
Could you just slice from cookie roll and make a single layer cookie dipped in chocolate??
Thank goodness Nana shared this recipe because these chocolate hazelnut cookies need to be shared!
Thank you so much – I’m so grateful she shared her recipe, because they’re so delicious! I’ve made them twice this season already 🙂
