These are the ultimate gourmet cookies. Each deliciously thick and chewy treat is loaded with chocolate chips and bursting with an easy homemade chocolate-hazelnut cream. Made with just five ingredients, the smooth center is reminiscent of that wildly popular store-bought spread. Swapping refined sugar for coconut, and sweetened with honey, these mouthwatering confections are paleo friendly and totally ready to steal the spotlight at your dessert table.
