Ingredients

Scale

1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and finely chopped

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together.

3. In another bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.

7. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until set. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

9. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

10. Dip the cooled cookies halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place on a wire rack to set.

Notes

For a nut-free version, you can substitute the hazelnuts with crushed graham crackers or oats.

Make sure to let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate to avoid melting the chocolate.
