Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder
- Butter
- Sugar
- Brown sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Hazelnuts
- Chocolate truffles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry flour and cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roughly chop hazelnuts and chocolate truffles into small, chunky pieces.
- Fold the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate truffle pieces into the cookie dough, distributing evenly.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, choose high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate truffles. The better the chocolate, the richer your cookies will taste!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be set around the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! You can add chocolate chips, sea salt on top, or even a sprinkle of espresso powder for a mocha twist.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to 5 days, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
