Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 oz fine-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
1/2 cup hazelnuts or sliced almonds, finely chopped (not in a food processor)
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar for coating

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined.
  • Beat together butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes in a stand mixer (preferably fitted with paddle attachment) or 4 minutes with a handheld. Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture and mix until combined well. Add chocolate and nuts and mix until just combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Roll 1 scant tablespoon of dough into a 1-inch ball, then flatten slightly with palm of your hand to form a 1/3-inch-thick disk and coat with confectioners sugar. Make more cookies in same manner, arranging them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until they puff up and tops crack slightly, 8 to 10 minutes total, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool completely. Recoat cookies with confectioners sugar.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'm wondering if I could substitute something else for the walnuts.

I'm not sure about the combination of bittersweet chocolate and sea salt. I think it might be too salty for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out really flat and crispy. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of bittersweet chocolate, but these cookies were still really good. The sea salt helped to balance out the bitterness of the chocolate.
