Ingredients
- 12 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 3 oz. toasted hazelnuts, very finely ground, plus whole raw hazelnuts to garnish
- 2 cups flour

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°. Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add egg and beat until smooth. Whisk together ground hazelnuts, flour, cocoa, and salt in a bowl; add to butter mixture; beat. Portion dough into 1" balls; transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spaced 2" apart. Place a whole hazelnut on top of each. Bake until cracked on top, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Dip bottom of each cookie in chocolate; chill until set.
