Description
Delicious chocolate hazelnut thumbprint cookies filled with creamy chocolate hazelnut spread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped hazelnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie ball.
- Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
- You can use a mix of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for a decorative touch.
