HAZELNUT-CRUSTED CHOCOLATE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cookies: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together butter and egg. Add brown sugar, and whisk to combine. Gradually add to flour mixture and stir with a spatula until liquid is absorbed. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Divide dough into thirds; roll out each portion 1/16-inch thick on a nonstick baking mat, topped with plastic wrap. Stack on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Reroll scraps once and cut more rounds, to make a total of 72 cookies. (If dough becomes soft, freeze until firm.) Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until firm and fragrant, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool completely.
• Filling: In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt, starting on low speed, then increasing to high for 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Stir in melted chocolate to combine.
• Spread 2 tablespoons filling each on half of cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies. Roll edges in chopped hazelnuts to adhere. Chill overnight before serving. (Assembled cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.)

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SANDWICH COOKIES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• To toast hazelnuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Let dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. In food processor with metal blade, process hazelnuts with on/off pulses until finely ground. In large bowl, stir or knead cookie dough, flour, ground nuts and vanilla until well blended. Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll each half to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with 2-inch scalloped or round cookie cutter; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. To make each sandwich cookie, spread 2 teaspoons hazelnut spread on bottom of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press cookies together. Place remaining hazelnut spread in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small tip from corner of bag; drizzle spread over cookies. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SANDWICH COOKIES (BACI DI DAMA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and powdered sugar. Beat on medium speed until pale, light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, salt and egg. Beat again for 1 minute. Add the flour and hazelnut flour and mix on low until just combined.
• Using a very small ice cream scoop or just scant of 2-teaspoon portions, portion the cookie dough mounds. Roll each one into a small ball in your hand, then place on the baking sheet at least 1 inch apart from each other. The dough should yield about 44 cookies. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until just set and barely browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven to cool completely to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, add the chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until they are completely melted. Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and mix until completely combined. Allow to cool to room temperature so that it is not runny.
• Using either a piping bag or spoon, dollop just over a teaspoon of the chocolate hazelnut mixture onto the bottom side of half of the cookies. Allow the chocolate to slightly set for about 2 minutes before lightly pressing the second half of the cookie down on top. Allow the cookies to sit undisturbed until the chocolate has set, about 10 minutes.
