1 Video | Photo: Cheaters Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup toasted, skinned hazelnuts
- 1 (18-ounce) roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1 (11-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pulse hazelnuts in a food processor until nuts are finely ground. Be careful not to process them into a paste.
Unwrap cookie dough and transfer to a flat surface. Knead in hazelnuts. Roll cookie dough back into a log (about the same size as the original). Slice log crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices and transfer slices to a large baking sheet. Bake 7 to 11 minutes, until cookies are golden around the edges. Cool cookies on wire racks.
While cookies are baking, melt chocolate chips in a double boiler over low heat.
When cookies are cooled, spread apricot preserves on 1 cookie and top with second cookie, making a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Dip half of the sandwiched cookies in the melted chocolate and place on waxed or parchment paper to dry.

Wow! Never tried one of her recipes before. I am totally impressed. I had to bake them for 17 minutes. I would make them much smaller next time because they do spread out. It was absolutely worth the effort of toasting and skinning the hazelnuts. Deeelicious!!!

I needed to make 6 dozen cookies....quick! I searched the foodtv website and saw this recipe. I read the reviews to confirm that they were indeed easy to make. I went to the store with my ingredient list but alas, could not find hazelnuts. I substituted Heath "bits of brickle" toffee bits instead. Not only were they considerably less expensive...they tasted great in the cookie. Also, I used raspberry jam. All in all, everyone loved them and they will now be a new twist on our Holiday cookies list!
