Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, icing sugar,and vanilla until light.
- In a smaller bowl, sift flour, salt and cocoa powder together.
- Add flour mixture to mixing bowl and mix to combine.
- Stir in the finely chopped roasted hazelnuts.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on parchment-lined cookie sheets. They won't spread much.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes. We think these are nicer a little underdone and fudgy. Test for your own level of crispness.
- Remove from oven and, while still warm, roll each cookie gently in icing sugar (or dip into melted chocolate and then into finely chopped roasted hazelnuts.) Let cool and then roll again in icing sugar and/or in more finely chopped roasted hazelnuts. Enjoy!
