Try replacing the peanut butter in your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe with THIS nut butter. :D TIP: If using a blender, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for making nut butters. Stopping the machine every minute or so is a good idea, as it gives the motor a chance to cool a bit.

How To Make mocha hazelnut butter

1
Preheat oven to 325f. Roast nuts (and or seeds) for 10 to 15 mins. Stir twice during this time. Place nuts in a towel and rub like crazy to remove skins. If the skins aren't removed the end product will be bitter.

2
Transfer to a food processor or high powered blender while still warm. Process until finely ground, about 3-4 mins.
3
add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 to 2 Tbsp of neutral tasting oil such as canola or grape seed oil.
4
Continue to blend until smooth and creamy adding a few more drops of oil only if needed. At this point also blend in the rest of the ingredients.
5
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Enjoy.
