  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Roll dough balls in crushed hazelnuts before baking for extra crunch.
  • Use dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.
  • Stuff with frozen dollops of Nutella for a gooey center.
  • Top with chopped hazelnuts and melted chocolate if Ferrero Rocher candies aren’t available.
  • Make sandwich cookies by filling two cookies with chocolate hazelnut spread.
