Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Make sure the butter is at room temperature.
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped Consider toasting them for extra flavor.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate spread You can use chocolate chips as an alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  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 softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.
  4. Gradually add the flour and baking soda to the mix, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Shape the dough into small balls, about an inch in size, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Flatten each ball slightly and make an indent in the center using your finger or the back of a spoon.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown, then cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  8. Once cooled, fill the indents with chocolate spread and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts.

Notes

These cookies are best served fresh and warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. Unbaked dough can be frozen for longer storage.
