Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined and glossy.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until there are no streaks of flour.
  5. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts evenly through the dough.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  9. Dip the bottoms in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with additional chopped hazelnuts.
  10. Let the chocolate set fully before serving (about 20–30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the fridge).

Notes

For added chew, underbake by a minute; for crisper cookies, bake for the higher end of the time range. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
