Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, boil water over medium-high heat. In a heat safe bowl, place over boiling water, being sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Add 8oz chocolate wafers and stir until melted, about 2-3 minutes, Cut butter into 4-5 pieces and add to bowl, mixing to combine, followed by vanilla extract. Remove from heat.
  • To the bowl, add in sugar and whisk to combine. Add 2 eggs, one at a time and whisk vicariously to combine and incorporate air, resulting in a lighter, fluffier mixture. Whisk for 2-3 minutes. Add in flours and sugar and whisk to combine.
  • Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. 
  • Remove bowl from the refrigerator, you will need it to sit out for about 15 minutes for the dough to soften a bit in order to be able to scoop it.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets for parchment paper and using a small cookie scoop (2 tbsp), portion out 30 cookies. Roll into a ball with your hands and roll into hazelnut flour to coat.
  • Press your thumb (or a wine cork) into the center or the cookies to create a thumbprint mark. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will still look gooey, DO NOT overbake.
