Chocolate Hazelnut Spiced Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups hazelnuts (9 ounces),
• , loose skins rubbed off in a kitchen towel while still warm, and nuts cooled completely
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon grated orange
• 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon hazelnut-flavored liqueur (preferably Frangelico)
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon hazelnut-flavored liqueur

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F with rack in middle. Butter a large baking sheet.
2. Pulse hazelnuts, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped, then add butter and zest and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Add juice and liqueur and pulse until dough comes together into a ball but is still crumbly. Form level tablespoons of dough into balls and flatten to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, arranging 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
3. Bake cookies until puffed and slightly cracked, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
4. Whisk together all icing ingredients until smooth.
5. Dip tops of cooled cookies into icing and transfer to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Let stand until icing is set, about 1 hour.
