How to make double chocolate hazelnut cookies

First prepare all ingredients, then combining them will be an easy part. So, toast the hazelnuts lightly in the oven to accent the flavour then chop them coarsely on a cutting board using a sharp knife.

  1. Combine dry ingredients - PLAIN and HAZELNUT flours, COCOA POWDER, BAKING POWDER and SALT. Whisk all other ingredients in another bowl - SUGAR, MELTED BUTTER, EGG YOLK, VANILLA BEAN PASTE and GRATED CITRUS ZEST (this sturdy whisk with wooden handle is great for this job).

  2. Now, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Add chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chunks and stir again. The dough will be slightly sticky, so place it in the fridge set for about 30 - 40 minutes.

  3. Using a tablespoon, grab the mixture of the size of walnut and roll into balls. Arrange them on prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each ball. Press some extra hazelnut and chocolate pieces on the tops of the balls.

  4. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the cookies are set. Cookies will still be soft when taken from the oven, but they will harden as they cool. Cool shortly on the tray then transfer to a cooling rack.

You could also freeze the cookie dough. Shape them into balls then freeze on some one tray for about 20-30 minutes, then transfer to the freezer bag. Once you would like to bake them, thaw them for 15 minutes before baking.
