My favorite snack is a handful of nuts. My favorite are pecans but any nuts will do. My least favorite are probably Brazilian nuts if I have to name one. Sometimes I step up my handful of nuts by throwing in some dark chocolate chips. Living on the guilty edge. My daughter stepped in my footprints and start snacking on nuts. Peanuts and hazelnuts are her favorite and when she’s living on the guilty edge, she gets a spoonful of Nutella and sprinkles some nuts on top and call it a snack. Well, these chocolate hazelnut thumbprint cookies are way better than any handful of nuts with chocolate chips. Chocolate cookie dough, toasted nuts and chocolate cream – how can that not make you weak to your knees? If you love nuts and chocolate together, you must bake a batch of these cookies. Like right now! No, you don’t need to chill the cookie dough. That’s another reason I love these chocolate hazelnut thumbprint cookies so much! You can have 2 dozen cookies in 30 minutes!!! For the cookie dough, you need basic cookie ingredients – butter, egg, sugar, flour and cocoa powder. Once you have the dough roll the cookies in toasted nuts and bake. If you’re not a big fan of hazelnuts, you can use pecans, peanuts, macadamia nuts, almonds. Live life on the edge! For the finishing touches, I used Nutella, but you can use any chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, chocolate peanut butter spread. You have a couple of possibilities.
