Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.

In another bowl, add the Nutella, butter and sugars and cream together for about three minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and blend until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.

On a cookie tray lined with parchment paper, roll the dough into walnut-sized balls, place about 4 inches apart and garnish with a small amount of nuts (I used pecans because that’s what I had on hand.). Bake for 6-8 minutes in a preheated 375-degree oven.

While cooling, prepare the glaze. Add the Nutella and shortening to a microwave safe bowl. Heat slowly until the shortening has dissolved and the mixture is runny.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
