Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat Your Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F) to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
Prepare Baking Sheets
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. This will ensure that the dry ingredients are well combined.
Prepare the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This process typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
Add Egg and Vanilla
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture until well combined, ensuring a smooth texture.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix the dough.
Incorporate Hazelnuts and Chocolate
Gently fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips, evenly distributing them throughout the dough.
Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges. The centers may appear slightly soft.
Cool the Cookies
Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage Instructions
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for optimal freshness.
Freezing Cookies
Unbaked cookie dough can be frozen. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.
Customizing Your Cookies
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding different nuts, swapping chocolate types, or even drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for an extra touch.
