Time 52m

Yield 36 to 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange sprinkles, or orange sugar
1 (9-ounce) package of chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped (recommended: Hershey's)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, place the chocolate hazelnut spread, butter, and both sugars. Using a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and blend until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients, just until incorporated.
  • Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. Rolls the balls in the orange sprinkles or orange sugar, pressing to adhere. Place the cookies on a heavy cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Quickly place a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cigars will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Toast the hazelnuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cigars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Roll the cigars out thinly. The thinner the cigars, the crispier they will be.
  • Bake the cigars until they are golden brown. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cigars cool completely before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Chocolate hazelnut cigars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make chocolate hazelnut cigars that are as good as any you would find in a bakery. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
