What you need:

    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 2/3 cup brown sugar
    • 1 large egg, at room temperature

    • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp. salt
    • 1 cup chopped hazelnuts, divided
    • 8 oz. milk chocolate or chocolate chips

Directions:

    1. In a stand mixer, beat the butter for 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Add brown sugar and beat on medium high speed until fluffy.
    2. Beat in egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides and bottom if needed. Beat until fully combined.
    3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt.
    4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Slowly mix until combined.
    5. Turn up to high speed and beat 3/4 cup hazelnuts into batter.

    7. Form into 8-inch logs and wrap with plastic cling wrap.
    8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 5 days.
    9. When chilling time is done, preheat oven to 350* and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    10. Unwrap logs and slice into 12 equal slices each (24 total). Place 12 per baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
    11. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
    12. Once cookies have cooled, melt chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave in short increments until smooth.
    13. Dip each cookie in chocolate to cover it halfway and then sprinkle with some of the remaining 1/4 cup hazelnuts.
    14. Let chocolate set and enjoy!
