DOUBLE CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
• Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Careful NOT to over mix or you may end up with flat cookies. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts.
• Using a medium cookie scoop, form cookie doughs into balls (~1 1/2 tablespoons size). Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and freeze the dough balls for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place dough balls on the baking sheet. Bake for about 10-11 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Enjoy!

Steps:

• 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.
