Ingredients
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1 egg room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup toasted hazelnuts finely chopped
- ⅔ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl add the butter. With the paddle attachment on, beat on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

- With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Remove the cookie dough from the mixing bowl and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly knead it with your hands until smooth and shiny.
- With a small cookie dough scoop, drop cookie dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Shape each cookie dough scoop into a ball.
- Place the chopped hazelnuts into a bowl and roll each ball into nuts, pressing gently.
- Arrange balls 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Press thumb into center of each cookie, leaving an indentation.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove cookies from the baking sheets and cool completely on wire racks.
- Pipe or spoon a little bit of the chocolate-hazelnut spread into the center of each cookie.
