Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, pulp, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine.

- Gently flatten the cookie with your hand and bake for 12-14 minutes or until they start to brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt chopped chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted (takes about 90 seconds)
- Dip half the cookie in chocolate and return the cookie to the PARCHMENT PAPER. Top the chocolate with hazelnuts and flaky salt. Refrigerate to harden the chocolate (or place in a cold room).
Notes
If you don't have discarded milk pulp, use hazelnut flour or almond flour instead!
