Gluten Free Hazelnut Cookies

sszz's Note:

These are very light, chewy cookies as opposed to most gluten-free products. They have a very strong hazelnut flavor, which is complemented by the cocoa and chocolate. To make your own hazelnut butter, roast whole raw hazelnuts at 350°F for about 15 minutes and grind them in a food processor.
