CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SANDWICH COOKIES (BACI DI DAMA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and powdered sugar. Beat on medium speed until pale, light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, salt and egg. Beat again for 1 minute. Add the flour and hazelnut flour and mix on low until just combined.
• Using a very small ice cream scoop or just scant of 2-teaspoon portions, portion the cookie dough mounds. Roll each one into a small ball in your hand, then place on the baking sheet at least 1 inch apart from each other. The dough should yield about 44 cookies. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until just set and barely browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven to cool completely to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, add the chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until they are completely melted. Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and mix until completely combined. Allow to cool to room temperature so that it is not runny.
• Using either a piping bag or spoon, dollop just over a teaspoon of the chocolate hazelnut mixture onto the bottom side of half of the cookies. Allow the chocolate to slightly set for about 2 minutes before lightly pressing the second half of the cookie down on top. Allow the cookies to sit undisturbed until the chocolate has set, about 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and 1 to 2 cups of water. Place a medium bowl fitted with a fine strainer inside the ice bath.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Set over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and begins to steam, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until smooth. Carefully whisk 1/2 of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, 1 ladleful at a time, until the egg mixture is warmed. Whisk the egg-milk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and registers around 175 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to boil the mixture.
• Immediately strain the mixture through the fine strainer into the prepared ice bath. Stir in the chocolate hazelnut spread and mix for several minutes until dissolved. Don't worry if the chocolate hazelnut spread does not dissolve completely. Cool the custard in the ice bath until it reaches room temperature, stirring often. Press plastic wrap against the surface of the custard and refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours or up to 1 day.
• Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, press plastic wrap against the surface of the ice cream, and freeze until it is firm and the flavor is ripened, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In large bowl, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until smooth and well combined. Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and beat until combined. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and beat until combined. On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 days.
• Drop 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Remove the pans to wire racks to cool completely. Freeze the cookies until frozen, at least 1 hour. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 1 month.
• To assemble, top 1 cookie with a scoop of ice cream. Place another cookie on top of the ice cream and gently press down to form a sandwich. Roll the edges in the chopped hazelnuts and repeat for the remaining cookies. Freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
