Fold in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE, ORANGE AND HAZELNUT BISCOTTI
Biscotti are easier to make than you might think, and they're delicious with breakfast or as a snack. They store well for over a week in a sealed jar or bag. I came up with this recipe when trying to use odds and ends I had in the house. Although we love to munch on all kinds of biscotti, this variety is especially amazing-just try one with coffee or espresso! -Sarah Knoblock, Hyde Park, Indiana

Tips:
- Use room temperature butter: This will help the butter cream together with the sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother dough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies set and prevent them from becoming too soft.

These chocolate chunk orange and hazelnut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and have a soft and chewy texture. With a few simple tips, you can make these cookies perfect every time. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
