Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

By Brittni • posted on 11/07/2025

If you like linzer cookies almost as much as chocolate and hazelnut, this holiday cookie recipe is for you!

These chocolate lovers linzer cookies are perfect for this year’s cookie swap. The dough is packed with finely ground hazelnuts and cocoa giving it a rich and nutty flavor. And the cookies are sandwiched between super smooth Nutella, adding a creamy chocolate-hazelnut layer. Which, if you ask me, pairs perfectly with the buttery and oh-so-crisp cookies. And finally, a light dusting of powdered sugar is the finishing touch that gives these linzer cookies that snowy holiday vibe.

Similar to my last Christmas sandwich cookies, I think you’re going to want to try these asap!

Seed Crackers (Recipe)

By Brittni • posted on 10/22/2025

Have you ever had seed crackers before? They’re full of flavor with just a handful of ingredients – like chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, etc.

Homemade seed crackers are such a great snack, but they’re also perfect for holiday hosting and entertaining. They look cute and fancy on a charcuterie board, they’re delicious, AND gluten free. Which is especially nice for parties, in case anyone you’re hosting has a dietary restriction.

Bonus! You can change the flavor of these seed crackers with just a simple switch up. Add herbs for a savory twist, everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor, or a sprinkle of sea salt to bring out the nutty taste. Unlike store-bought versions, homemade seed crackers are fresh and free from unnecessary additives, making them the perfect snack for any time of day (or party any time of night).
