Instructions
For the cookies:Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter in an electric mixer for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the sugars and Hazelnut Chocolate
Spread and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 30 seconds between each.
Add the vanilla and mix for 10 seconds.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda (do not skip this step as sifting eliminates clumps of cocoa).
Mix into the butter mixture on low speed until fully incorporated, scraping down the bottom and sides at least once to ensure even mixing. Fold in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts and refrigerate the dough for ten minutes.
Spoon tablespoon-sized drops of dough onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on the sheets for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
For the Hazelnut Chocolate
Place the whole hazelnuts in a 300 F oven for about ten minutes.
Let cool slightly and then remove skins. (Or use already blanched hazelnuts).
Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and grind until you obtain a paste.
Add the melted chocolate into the food processor.
Bring the condensed milk and the honey to a boil then add 1/3 of this mixture into the food processor.
Mix, gradually adding the remaining milk-honey mixture.
Store in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco
Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco are my top picks for Cookies. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
