Indulge in the rich, nutty decadence of Chocolate Hazelnut Kisses, a heavenly treat that combines soft, cocoa-infused cookies with creamy chocolate hazelnut spread. These bite-sized delights are crafted with simple ingredients like unsweetened cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla, creating a perfectly chewy texture. Each cookie is shaped with a thumbprint indentation, filled generously with velvety hazelnut spread (think Nutella!), and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Ready in just 30 minutes, this recipe is perfect for holiday gatherings, gift boxes, or everyday indulgence. Whether served with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee, these cookies promise to deliver pure joy in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, beating well to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your thumb to create an indentation in the center.
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing space between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft to the touch. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cookies are cool, use a small spoon or piping bag to fill the indentations with chocolate hazelnut spread.
Dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish. Serve and enjoy!
