These cookies were kind of a mishap but turned out yumm! I love chocolate & salt combo so these Crunchy Chocolate Cookie Balls (w/Pink Salt) are pretty amazing!
I also used hazelnut flour – which in some bites, almost has an Ferrero Rocher taste. You can sub almond flour if you’d like…I’ve made with both flours and both are delish but I kinda like the hazelnut for this cookie.
I’ll keep my babbling to minimum because I accidentally published this without a post (still getting the hang of this blogging thing!) so had to get something on here 😉 but now…..you can get to the recipe quicker! Hope you enjoy!
