Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbread image

We love hazelnut flavor and cookies that aren't too sweet, so this recipe is perfect for us! If you like your cookies on the sweeter side, bake up these crisp beauties and slather some Nutella between two to create an extra-special sandwich cookie. -Karla Johnson, East Helena, Montana

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the chocolate and hazelnut flavors were barely noticeable. I won't be making these again.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape, but they still tasted great. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer before baking.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of shortbread cookies, but these were surprisingly delicious. The hazelnut flavor really shines through, and the chocolate chips add a nice touch of sweetness. Will definitely make again!
