Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ ounces 70% dark chocolate, melted
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon instant espresso powder (Optional)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup roasted hazelnuts, finely ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and salt; beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well-blended. Blend in melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and espresso. Mix in flour gradually, until batter is smooth. Fold in chocolate chips, chopped hazelnuts, and ground hazelnuts.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of cookie batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Use the back of a wet fork to flatten each cookie slightly, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and edges start to darken, about 15 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
- Substitute bittersweet chocolate chips for the semisweet chips if preferred.

Yum. Buttery with layers of rich flavours. I topped some of them with Cashews and cracked sugar. Very tasty
Delicious!!! I doubled the recipe and had no trouble with that. Instead of the dark chocolate bar, I melted semi-sweet chips instead as that’s what I had…taste is excellent. I added about 1/2 cup of dried dark cherries into the mix and they are good, but not overwhelming.
Really delicious. I added the espresso powder and next time I’m not sure I would. I think it detracted from the chocolate-ness I was hoping for… it was chocolately, but I wanted more!
