> don't go much below 1/2 cup of almond Is this just for taste reasons?

  Texture and cost. The hazelnut meal tends to be a bit coarser, and is significantly more expensive, so you end up with gritty cookies that don't taste significantly more like hazelnut for more $$.

    Waw, i'm surprised almonds are more expensive than hazelnuts where you are! I didn't check but i believe that in france hazelnuts are cheaper. What is sure is that the tree is far more common (in personal gardens).

      They said hazelnut is more expensive than almonds. Did you make a typo?

      Melbourne, Australia. I'd love cheap hazelnut meal, its roughly 5 times more expensive than almond.
