Why aren’t there any Ferrero Rocher Chocolates in these Ferrero Rocher Cookies? Can I add some?
I personally have never had good luck with baking Ferrero Rocher Chocolates into baked goods.
I’ve tried to bake them into cupcakes and cookies only for the Ferrero Rocher pieces to come out over cooked and chewy…and not a good chewy.
If you want to experiment with baking crushed Ferrero Rocher into cookies, you certainly can add some to this recipe but as for the way this recipe is written now, it just uses the flavor combination of the chocolate and hazelnut from the Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
Where can I find hazelnuts to make these cookies?
I can normally find hazelnuts at Target, Walmart and Kroger around here and I bet they are a lot of other grocery stores as well. I bought these toasted hazelnuts from Trader Joes.
Can I use regular-sized chocolate chips instead of the mini chocolate chips?
You sure can! I just like the look of the mini chocolate chips but the regular size will work too.
A Tip on getting the picture-perfect cookie:
If you’re anything like me you want the cookies you bake to not only taste good but look amazing as well. Once you plop that dough onto the cookie sheet, make sure to take some extra chocolate chips and chopped hazelnut pieces and stick them into the top of the cookie dough before they go into the oven! That’s how you get the little details like the chocolate chips and hazelnut pieces showing on top of the cookie after it bakes up.

Macadamia nuts are pretty close to them if you can have those.
Hi, I really want the Ferrero Rocher cookie recipe, when I click the link it says page not found. Can you send me this recipe please?
Hi Kaitylyn! I’m so sorry about that! This was a sponsored recipe for Dixie Crystal and I had a link at the bottom to take readers to the recipe. However, recently Dixie Crystals deleted all of those links from their site! So I’ve just done an edit on the post and added a recipe card with the recipe! I’m going to email you a copy too!
