These were delicious! If you love chocolate with a delightful crunch of toasted nuts these cookies will make you very happy. They were very moist, so the slivered almonds that I used were a perfect complement. I’m sort of meh about hazelnuts, so I decided to substitute Trader Joe’s Cocoa Almond spread instead. I’ve never tried it before, and I noticed that it doesn’t have a strong nut flavor (while Nutella is very hazelnutty). If you want a cookie that is more chocolate the TJ’s spread makes a good alternative.

Good to know that these work well with almonds! 🙂
This is how I made mine also! Worked well and were a big hit. Yours look great!
Almonds, what a great idea! I will have to give that a whirl next time
