CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT SANDWICH COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield About 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup blanched hazelnuts
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur
Red coarse sugar, for decorating
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the hazelnuts on a small baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Transfer the hazelnuts to a resealable plastic bag and finely crush with a rolling pin.
  • Whisk the crushed hazelnuts with the flour, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg, then the milk, then the hazelnut liqueur, beating well after each addition. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined (the consistency will be more like a thick batter than a cookie dough).
  • Transfer the dough to a large resealable plastic bag. Cut a 1/2-inch opening at one corner. Pipe 1-inch mounds about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Tap each pan on the counter a few times to flatten the mounds slightly. Sprinkle half of the mounds with coarse sugar (these will be the tops).
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are flattened and the edges are golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Sandwich the chocolate-hazelnut spread between the cookies.

Tips:

  • To make your cookies chewier, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you want crispier cookies, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate and hazelnut butter.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk or cream.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them.

Conclusion:

These chocolate hazelnut sandwich cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, creamy hazelnut filling, and crispy texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
