Asha Gomez'S Smoky Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (8 ounces) Nutella, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) hazelnuts, roasted, skinned, and chopped (see Editor's Notes)
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Heat the oven to 350u0b0F.
- In a medium bowl, using your hands, mix together the flour, sugar, 11/2 teaspoons of the smoked paprika, and eggs to form a crumbly dough. Mix in the Nutella and hazelnuts and work to form a smooth dough, no more than 2 minutes.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Separate the dough into 10 equal parts, using your palms to roll them into round balls. Place the balls on the cookie sheet, 1 inch apart. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cookies are flat discs, crisp around the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven; dust with the remaining smoked paprika and confectioners' sugar. Eat them immediately or after they have cooled down.
