How to Make Hazelnut Crinkles

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly, then roughly chop.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate hazelnut spread and chopped hazelnuts.
  8. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  9. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  10. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until completely coated.
  11. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
