Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups hazelnuts
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick silicone liner and coat it with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • On another baking sheet, roast the hazelnuts until fragrant, 10 minutes. Remove them to a plate.
  • Combine the butter, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking until melted. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture registers 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the hazelnuts. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth with an offset spatula. Let dry for about 1 1/2 minutes, then scatter the chocolate chips on top. As they melt, spread the chocolate to the outer edges of the toffee with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze until set, about 30 minutes. Peel the toffee away from the silicone liner and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into pieces with a sharp knife. The toffee will keep, tightly covered, up to 1 week.

Time 30m

Yield About 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces unskinned lightly toasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Sift the flour and add with the baking soda and the salt. Mix thoroughly and add the reserved hazelnuts. Using a teaspoon, form the dough into balls and arrange them 2 inches apart on baking sheets that have been greased or lined with parchment paper. Using the prongs of a fork that have been dipped into flour to prevent sticking, flatten the balls into 1 1/2 inch rounds (Tip: If you want a clearly visible criss-cross design on the cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before doing so).
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-to-9 minutes or until the cookies are golden. Cool on racks. The cookies will keep for about a week in a sealed jar.
