Chocolate and Hazelnut Cookies

These gorgeous soft hazelnut biscuits are easy to make and tastes yummy. On the same note I have to mention, this is not a cookie on a person who is on a diet. This is from my fist ever baking book in England, from Donna Hay: Chocolate.

Chocolate and Hazelnut Cookies

makes about 28
For the cookies
250g butter, softened
175g brown sugar
165g sugar
3 eggs
450g plain flour, sifted
60g cocoa powder, sifted
1tsp baking powder

For the filling
150g dark chocolate
190g sour cream
1cup hazelnut, roasted, chopped

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Place the butter, brown sugar and sugar in a bowl and beat until light and creamy. Add the eggs gradually and beat well. Add the flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix until combined. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls, place on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper and flatten slightly.

Bake for 15 minutes of until bases are lightly coloured. Cool on racks.

To make the chocolate filling, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Remove from the heat, add the sour cream and stir to combine. Top half of the biscuits with chocolate hazelnut filling and sprinkle with the nuts, top with the remaining biscuits.
