Indulge in these delightful Chocolate Hazelnut Snowball Cookies, a rich twist on a classic. These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just incorporated. Don’t overmix.
  5. Stir in the finely chopped toasted hazelnuts.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set but not browned. The cookies should remain pale.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cooled, generously dust the cookies with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • To toast hazelnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Rub them in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins.
  • For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
