Make This Recipe
Ingredients
- 10 ounces dark chocolate
- 2 Eggland's Best eggs, large
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F; line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt; set aside.
- Melt butter and chocolate in the top half of a double boiler*, stirring frequently. When melted, remove from heat and slowly stir in egg mixture.
- Add flour mixture and hazelnuts to chocolate mixture and blend well.
- Spoon rounded tablespoons of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 11-13 minutes or until the cookie surfaces look dry.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
*Note: If you do not have a double boiler, you can create one simply by placing a heavy, heat-safe glass bowl on top of a saucepan of boiling water. When water begins to boil, reduce to a simmer, and place ingredients in the bowl to melt slowly.
