Ingredients
- 1/3 cup whole hazelnuts
- 2 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Pan di Stelle Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350F/177C convection (or 325F/162C conventional) and line a cookie pan with a baking sheet.
- Bake the hazelnuts for 15 minutes, until they look golden brown and the skin begins to fall off. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. Once they’ve cooled, rub them in the palm of your hand to remove the skin. Chop the hazelnuts in fours and set aside.1/3 cup whole hazelnuts
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt and set it aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together for 1-2 minutes, until they’re well combined.2 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 1/2 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, 1/2 cup butter softened, 3/4 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg. Beat the mixture until the egg is fully incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in the vanilla extract and chocolate hazelnut spread and beat the mixture until it’s well combined.1 large egg room temperature, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/3 cup Pan di Stelle Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until the flour is fully incorporated. Mix in the chocolate and the hazelnuts until they’re evenly distributed.3/4 cup chocolate chips
- Use about 2 Tbsp worth of dough to make cookie rounds and bake them for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and top with a couple more chocolate chunks and a pinch of sea salt flakes.
- Allow them to rest on the pan for 2-3 minutes and then when you can pick it up without it falling apart, transfer them over to a cooling rack.
Notes
- If you refrigerate them and bake them straight from the fridge add 3 minutes of baking time.
