Chocolate Hazelnut & Espresso Salt Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Hazelnuts, Chopped
- 1/2 cup Salted butter Softened
- 1/2 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, pure
- 1 large Egg
- 4 ounces Chocolate Chopped
- 2 Tbsp Butter Unsalted
- Expresso Brava Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- If your hazelnuts have skins, toast them in a skillet over medium heat, shaking gently. The skins will slip off. Let cool before processing.
- Pulse nuts in a food processor until nuts are about pea-sized.
- Cream together salted butter and sugar until fluffy, then mix in vanilla and egg. Finally, stir in flour and hazelnuts.
- Scoop dough out by the tablespoon onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently press down slightly on each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate and unsalted butter together in a small saucepan or a microwave, whisking to combine thoroughly.
- Top each cookie with a spoonful of chocolate. Sprinkle with a pinch of Espresso Brava Sea Salt.
- Let cookies cool, and if desired, put them in the refrigerator to firm up the chocolate. Store in a covered container.
