Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

These were possibly the most delicious cookies I've ever baked. The chocolate and hazelnut complemented each other perfectly, like Nutella. They were a bit on the sweet side, but in moderation they were good. I highly suggest making them!

Here's how:

Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts

Note that the batter may look as if there isn't enough, but these cookies rise and spread like nobody's business.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease cookies sheets.
2. Sift flour, salt, and baking soda into small bowl. Set aside.
3. Cream together butter and sugars with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla.
4. Add flour mixture and beat well with mixer on low speed.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips and half of the chopped hazelnuts with a wooden spoon.
6. Drop batter in teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets. Flatten each cookie with a wet fork and sprinkle remaining hazelnuts on top of the cookies.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
