Another chocolate chips cookies recipe! What can I do? I love them!
I converted this recipe from a Turkish magazine and they were so tasty. I've been even asked if I bought them!
I hope you like this one too.

farfallina, I have a complaint. Your posts are not good for my waist line.... 

Chocolate & Hazelnut  - how can I resist?  My favourite combination!!!

Big Thank you! Now I'm wishing I wasn't going away for the weekend, but it's probably for the best

I've got the very same complaint from my husband today! 

[JulieO]

farfallina, these sound good.  Can I ask how much is in a packet of vanillin sugar?

Thankyou, Julie.

read in another of farfallinas recipes yesterday they = 5g

[farfallina]

Yes, it should be 5 gram as Creampuff63 said. I saw some 3 gram packs too though. Both would be fine.

Thankyou girls.

LOL - yes, my bathroom scales are groaning just looking at all these recipes

farfallina, i am in the middle of cooking these at the moment. the dough is very dry and crumbly - was yours like this? i decided not to add more butter because i thought perhaps it was how it was meant to be, and continued rolling them into balls (well squeezing - could not flatten otherwise they would break)  perhaps our flour is different to yours, and we may need less???

they did not spread out in the oven, just merely stayed in the ball shape and cracked. i poked a couple and they just fell apart 

[farfallina]

Well CreamPuff I don't know why they came like that   
I used simple, all purpose flour, not a special one
These ones surely are not like those ones that you need ice cream scoop to get pieces, they will have a hard texture however they shouldn't be so hard to work with
I don't know what the problem could be 
Did you let them stay in the fridge half an hour before you shaped them?
