Ingredients

• 1 cup of roasted hazelnuts or almonds (chopped)
• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• ½ cup of softened butter
• ½ cup of granulated sugar
• ½ cup of light brown sugar
• 1 egg (at room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla or hazelnut extract
• 1 cup of milk or dark chocolate chips
• ½ cup of crushed nuts for garnish

Equipment Needed

• Large and medium mixing bowls
• Electric mixer or whisk
• Baking tray
• Parchment paper
• Wire rack
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler for melting chocolate

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla or hazelnut extract, blending until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until the dough forms. Fold in the chopped roasted nuts and chocolate chips.

Roll about 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared tray, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly for an even bake. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Melt chocolate in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth. Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies, then sprinkle with crushed nuts while the chocolate is still wet. Let the cookies sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.

Baking Tips

• Use roasted nuts for a deeper, richer flavor.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or coffee, to customize the taste.
• Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer shelf life.
