In reply to Debbie. Yes, essentially. The meal includes the skins so it's not as evenly colored as flour and is a little coarser but you can typically use them interchangably.

Has anyone used cocoa powder instead of espresso? LOVE chocolate hazelnut!

This recipe is great. At first, I misunderstood the butter. 3/4 cups = 12 tablespoons. I did just that and the cookies came out perfect. I did not have any issues with the dough. Thank you for this great recipe.

Is Hazelnut meal the same as Hazelnut flour? Can I make Hazelnut meal by processing the nuts until real fine? These flavors sound delicious!

In reply to Annemarie. I think it would be fine, just a slightly different flavor

In reply to Gloria Burton. I have almond meal/flour in my pantry. Thinking of using it w/ the espresso powder as substitution. I would thing the almond flavor would taste just as good as the hazelnut but perhaps not as pronounced since almond meal is pretty bland. Any thoughts?

I’m giving spritz cookies as valentine gifts so am cutting my recipes in half but making several varities so all don’t taste the same. I like coffee in cookies and thought I’d try the coffee-hazelnut spritz, but I only have espresso powder and almond meal/flour on hand. Can I sub them in this recipe in the same quantity as listed? Cutting the recipe in half will yield approx. 3 dozen correct? Thanks.

In reply to Angie.

Hm. I’m surprised by that too since I love the new press. Although I never had any luck with the older style ones. What was going on with your dough? Was it too thick or too thin/sticky? I’ll retest the recipe on my end as soon as I can. I’m very curious to figure out what’s going on, since I know other people have had success with it…but I want it to work for everyone!

I tried them four times just to see what the problem was. Same problem every single time: the dog would not come out properly. I compared your recipe to the one I’ve been using for close to 30 years, and I think the butter/flour ratio is off. I’m going to use the press with my old reliable recipe, to see if that might be part of the problem. I can tell you that that new press is so much more difficult to use then the 40-year-old press I’ve been using. I was a little surprised, I was just going to assume that the newer model would be so much simpler. But it’s extremely difficult to use, compared to my old faithful.
