Hazelnut Chewies
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups nutella, spread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, toasted and chopped fine
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- Adjust oven racks to upper middle and lower middle positions and preheat oven to 375u0b0F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- With electric mixer on medium high speed, beat Nutella, butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, espresso powder and eggs and mix until incorporated. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture and milk, and mix until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of hazelnuts and refrigerate dough until firm about 1 hour.
- Place remaining hazelnuts in a bowl. Add confectioners' sugar to another bowl. One at a time roll dough into 1 inch balls, roll in hazelnuts, then roll in confectioners' sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until set, about 8 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Cool 5 minutes on sheets, and transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
