Hazelnut, Ginger and Olive Oil Cake

Chocolate-Raspberry Thumbprints
Tuesday with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies Chocolate seems to be the theme of the month. Good thing I love chocolate. These were a pretty easy cookie to make.

The base is a flourless chocolate cake described as “fallen souffle with a brownie-like texture”. It was the perfect base because it did not get too hard in the freezer.
