DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and salt; beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well-blended. Blend in melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and espresso. Mix in flour gradually, until batter is smooth. Fold in chocolate chips, chopped hazelnuts, and ground hazelnuts.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of cookie batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Use the back of a wet fork to flatten each cookie slightly, making a crisscross pattern.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and edges start to darken, about 15 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

HAZELNUT-CRUSTED CHOCOLATE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cookies: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together butter and egg. Add brown sugar, and whisk to combine. Gradually add to flour mixture and stir with a spatula until liquid is absorbed. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Divide dough into thirds; roll out each portion 1/16-inch thick on a nonstick baking mat, topped with plastic wrap. Stack on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Reroll scraps once and cut more rounds, to make a total of 72 cookies. (If dough becomes soft, freeze until firm.) Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until firm and fragrant, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool completely.
• Filling: In a large bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt, starting on low speed, then increasing to high for 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Stir in melted chocolate to combine.
